Where are the 'sync' settings?

When you open facebook, hit the menu button and tap settings. Then you can get to sync settings.

Will clearing the gallery data also remove all other photos from my gallery?

Thank you!

Thanks for your help on this. The FB images don't show in the Gallery. But are the images still stored on my phone? Or was there just a link back to FB where the images are stored??

Thanks a lot, it worked

Thanks Amber for your advice on post No 16, but it seems the FB pics are only hidden from display because they can be easily brought back.
I have to agree with Mal on post 20 and ask: in the effort to save storage space, how do you get the pics off the SGIII?

Simple.. Open your picture gallery, open the menu with the bottom left soft key, select "content to display" and it'll give you the option to uncheck either "ALL, FACEBOOK, PICASSA", or whatever other source of pictures you've chosen to share with. This is of course with the 4.3 update. Never recall having this issue before hand. Good luck.

had to dig this one up , facebook still wont stop syncing after everything i have done. gone into facebook app and stop syncing, gone into gallery and stopped it there. checked in device only and it still syncs facebook photos. my gosh anything else???

 

[Kathie Reilly]

That worked great. However, I have a feeling the photos are still on there somewhere. How to completely take them off???

Go into Your Gallery click on any picture, then click on menu, click on settings. there you will have a range of icons to Uncheck.

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I was trying to remove these pictures as well.
After I came across your message here I was able to do that.
I turned off ALL SYNC for all of the apps pictures I was trying to delete.
I then went
Settings > General > Application Manager >(Swipped right to left) All > I found the app I was looking for (Facebook & Gallery) > Cleared Cache then cleared Data.

I went back to my Gallery and the images were gone. This makes me very happy.

Thank you.

Mack

(P.S The above.)

WHat do you mean clear gallery? Wouldn't that mean that ALL the photo also not from Facebook be deleted as well?

Ok....I have found the only way to really remove the pictures, not just from view...
You have to delete your Facebook account from your phone. Not just the app. You have to delete it under accounts in settings. Now reinstall it. When you reinstall it, do not sync photos. Then go into gallery and set it not sync photos there. Same goes with Picasso or any other online photo gallery if it is connected to your Gmail account. Your phone will continue to prompt you to sync unless you change the settings for online sites through gallery for picasso.
Good luck!!
