How to Use Facebook Profile Pictures for iPhone Contacts

Written By Dhvanesh Reviewed By How-to 3 Min Read

There may be thousands of contacts in your iPhone contact app. But how many contacts do you remember by name? It is obvious that you cannot remember all the contacts by name. Therefore, it is important that you should have the particular person’s picture attached to the device contact. And again, to add picture to the contact you have to go through lengthy steps for every contact manually. It is a cumbersome act.

Apple has recently added a new feature to its iPhone/iPad iOS 7 or later. Now you can use Facebook profile pictures to your phone’s contact or you can add other information as well. You can connect to your friends; know his email address, home address and much more. Just a few seconds of work can do it all for you.
