Hello all, I just upgraded to the new droid maxx version 6.16.211....and did not want to sync my facebook contacts to populate my phone, but they have and now I have over 2000 contacts... :icon_eek: how can I remove all facebook contacts from my phone and prevent them from coming back? Any help would be greatly appreciated :question:

Had the same thing happen. Just open the FB app and go to settings. The last option is Sync. Choose "Don't Sync" and it will remove them from the phone.

Mine was already clicked to "don't sync"; however, they are all still there, staring me square in the face. I'm quite sick of butt-dialing some random guy with whom I went to high school. ARGH!! This is a HUGE problem and I am so annoyed with Facebook for automatically syncing my contacts. Seriously?!?!?!?!
Thanks for any input! I'm quite literally pulling out my hair. Well, figuratively. Figuratively pulling out my hair. LOL!

Try going in your account setting on the phone and see if you don't see it there.
