Link to Facebook

[Dolby]

I have a S3 with 4.1.1 ...

How do I link a person to Facebook?

I've got them as both a contact and on Facebook - but they're not linked? Granted, at first the contact name was a nickname ... but I've changed to their Facebook name.

On S2 you go to the contact and select join contact, then find their facebook contact profile from the list

Hold your finger on the one contact and then select the "Join Contact" option like Nduimiso says. It will join them all together

Doen't seem to work :/

I thought 'Join Contact' was if I had - for example - two of the same contacts from different accounts already? So for example Facebook has 'Tarryn' and contacts have 'Tee' ... then I link them both together?

But if it hasn't even picked up Tarryn from Facebook - then what?

I've got another issue too :/

If it pulls someone from FAcebook (so I have number, email etc) but I want them on my Google contacts on the PC - how would I do that?

That's exactly what it does, but it seems the names are too disimilar to match up. Rename your phone contact so the name is exactly the same as Facebook, or at least very similar, should work then.

Probably manually, just use the contact interface in gmail on your browser, it's just a case of copy and paste. Once done you have it forever.

ok ... removed the account and added again - worked!

I guess I can copy/paste ... just hoped there was an easier way

Not that I know of, maybe someone else on the forum knows a better way but you might as well just do the copy/paste method.
