Apple iOS 6 released in September brought tighter and system wide integration with the popular social network – Facebook. This integration basically enables the user to share links, photos, videos and other content directly to Facebook with simple one time log-in.
Many actually detest this integration even though several avid Facebook users adore this change. With the Facebook account sign-in, one nuisance is that it copies the contact details of the Facebook Friends to the contacts App. Now that can be confusing and tedious at the same time. Also the photos and usernames get updated as soon as you allow the Facebook to connect with the Contacts App on an iOS device.
Here is a simple way to disable and remove the Facebook friends from appearing in your Contacts app.
