Facebook sync

[gtpred99]

The last f/b update kept crashing or wouldn't open at all. I uninstalled/reinstalled and works OK. My problem now is now I can't get f/b profile pictures to sync with my contacts. Any ideas?

Facebook took away contact syncing some time last year, so this may be why you're having difficulties: https://m.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=1028796497164750

That sucks! Any why to downgrade to an older version? If so, which one?

You could always get the app Sync.ME for syncing.

Can you confirm that Sync.ME works for FB contact syncing? I had seen some conflicting information about 3rd party sync apps.

I really don't want a 3rd party app.

For what it's worth, I don't think there's an official Sync.ME version available on Google Play Store that can still sync Facebook contacts anyway. If I search for Sync.ME on Google Play, all I can find is Sync.ME Caller ID and Block, which doesn't have anything to do with syncing Facebook contacts.

Until facebook gets their poo@ in a group, I'm using Social contact photo sync. It's a little labor intensive upfront, but it looks like that it doesn't have to collect so much personal/contact info from your phone as sync.me. If you are going to use this app, read the instructions.

I confirm that the Sync.ME in the Google Play Store does sync Facebook pictures and info with your phone contacts.
However, it's not the app that B. Diddy pointed out.
Use this one:
Sync.ME – Caller ID & Block

Interesting--I wonder why both of those links show an app with the same name, but they appear to be different?
