Whatsapp Contacts FB Pics???

[nytrus113]

Has anyone managed to get their Facebook contacts pics to sync over to Whatsapp? This is something I have enjoyed on 3 other Android devices and for some reason I can't get it done on this phone. I've tried everything. Only contacts with Google Account pics have their pics show up in whatsapp. The Facebook pics do show up in the address book however (though with low quality). Even inside whatsapp if I click on a contact and choose "view contact in address book" it shows me the contact WITH a picture. So why on earth won't whatsapp show the contact pics from FB???? Anyone else care?

I've already tried HaxSync and Facebook Sync apps. No luck. Whatsapp just won't grab the pics. Ive also emailed whatsapp. Nada. Help if you can!

The issue is with more recent versions of the Facebook app. Whatsapp is not the only contact manager to inherit this issue with Facebook.

Yeh. Learned that if I use an alternative sync app and tell facebook NOT to sync then it works.

How do you tell fb NOT to sync? Where are the exact steps I shd do after I have installed haxsync?

Go to accounts and sync and it should be self exploratory after that.
