Facebook photos show up in gallery?!?!

[funkylogik]

I hate the gallery on this phone .... I have like 15 folders that make no sense to me for all my photos. I cannot find anything. There is no rhym or reason to any of it.

try some 3rd-party gallery apps from play store m8

If you uninstall the Facebook app, reinstall it, and this time around don't "sync With Gallery" at the very start, they wont show up, but you'll have the option later if you do want them for some reason.

Go to Settings>Accounts and Sync>"Facebook (for syncing)" and uncheck "Sync Gallery"

I don't know if this will remove the facebook albums from the gallery, or just stop updating them.

signed up just to say the thanks to you. This worked perfect.

You can go into your gallery settings. If there's an option for "view by" you can choose to only see the albums that are from your phone. I just wish I could see Facebook and the phone albums only. The picasa albums are driving me crazy. You can only select one.

This successfully stops updating them. It does NOT remove already synced photos. I do not believe that the FB albums can be deleted at this point in time. I found "Picasa Sync" files in (internal SD) Android/data/com.sec.android.gallery.3d/cache - and CAN delete those. I cannot find FB images, however. I like my device uploading to the cloud, but dl'ing tons of pics to expensive SD space is not preferable... Please share if anyone knows where these files live.

Hi as suggested by you guys, I went through settings>Account>Facebook and disabled the sync. This reclaimed 4GB back. thanks for the tips guys. However the pictures in the gallery remain. Very strange! anyway it has freed 4GB of my valuable space

Hi,

I am hoping that someone knows how to have the Gallery Option of "Content on this Device" be the default setting. As mention, I can choose it, but the next time I go to Gallery, it is not select and Gallery loads "EVERYTHING" which I do not want it to do.

Thanks,

The only way I found to unsync my Facebook photos from the gallery was to delete the Facebook account off the phone. Next time I launched the Facebook app I had to login in again, at which point it asked me what I wanted to sync.

I have had my S III since beginning of January, my first every Samsung. I absolutely love this phone BUT am irritated I cannot delete photos in the gallery which have synced with Facebook! even those many of them have been deleted in Facebook, they still show on my phone. Not happy :-(

Remove you Facebook account first from Settings>Accounts. Then go to settings>Application manager>All>Gallery and clear your gallery cache and data. Finally, go back to settings>accounts and add your Facebook back but make sure you un-check the sync photo option. Go to your gallery and be amazed now. Thanks.
