Tips for Syncing Facebook Contacts with iPhone
The methods we detail for syncing Facebook contacts with iPhone are all straightforward. While synchronizing, however, a few factors should be kept in mind.
- Your iPhone will not quickly reflect changes to your Facebook friends’ contact information. This means you can check for updated contact information for your Facebook pals on a regular basis by manually syncing your Facebook contacts with your iPhone.
- When you sync your Facebook contacts to your iPhone, it will automatically update your iPhone’s contact information, including the names of your Facebook friends. After the sync is finished, you may see that some of the names you’ve saved on your phone have been somewhat altered. The new names are identical to Facebook’s, so you can rest easy.
- You might lose some of your business cards. There is absolutely no reason to worry about it! Facebook makes that possible. We instantly terminate all contacts that consist only of a Facebook email address.
- Because of the hassle of manually synchronizing Facebook contacts to the iPhone, a number of contact cards have been eliminated. If you want to transfer photos, movies, music files, and the like from Facebook to your iPhone, you should use iPhone Transfer.
