Facebook contact photo sync....

[Blipstein]

I used to have the option in the FB app to sync my friends profile photo with my contacts so that it would display the FB profile photo for the respective contact. I could even tell it to load the photos only for the contacts that were in my phone and not sync all of my FB photos. I can't find that option anymore.

Does anyone else see this option? How can I go about syncing FB photos to my existing contacts?

Thanks

I was actually wondering the same thing. I know when Facebook first installs it asks if it can sync, I said no, but when into the settings later and turned it on, but I do not see users/pictures in my contacts from Facebook. I also made sure that only showing contacts with numbers was turned off.

Discovered and app called SyncMe. It'll sync all FB photos. Seems the Edge+ doesn't natively sync those pics anymore

Mine synced perfectly on the edge+ but my wife's s6 edge doesn't sync either and I've tried many different ways.

My S6 edge+ syncs contact photos without any issues. Under "Contacts" go into the phonebook entry whose FB you want to sync.

There's a section called "Connected Via" which shows where the contact is saved (google account, microsoft exchange, outlook etc) and right next to it is a little chain icon.

If you click that icon it will let you link that contact with other contacts. So for example you have a contact on outlook without a photo, but he has a photo on facebook, simply click the icon and you can select his facebook profile to link to.

From there onwards that contact will have his facebook photo show up. If someone is really confused about doing this I can provide a step by step visual guide using screenshots but I'd really rather not have to lol.

This doesn't work. There are no Facebook contacts to link to from that 'menu'.

Make sure under "Accounts" that your Facebook account has "Sync Contacts" turned on.
