Steps
- 1Once the phone has been activated we will see the lock screen.To begin, turn the phone on by pressing the power button located on top of the phone.
- 2Once the phone has been unlocked we will see the home screen, and at the bottom we will see 5 icons. We now need to open the application folder.To unlock the phone, swipe the screen up.
- 3There is a grid of white dots. This is the icon for the applications folder.We can do that by tapping the icon in the middle, at the bottom of the screen.
- 4There is a Facebook icon, which is a blue background with a white "f" inside, and underneath it says the word "Facebook". Your application may be in a different location, so look for the icon in your folder. We now need to find the settings menu.Now that the folder has been opened, we need to find and tap the Facebook application.
- 5There are three gray horizontal lines. They're very faint, but we can see them.To do that, we need to tap the menu icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- 6There will be a gray circle with a white gear inside. This will open up the settings menu.Scroll up or down to find "App Settings", and tap on it.
- 7Underneath it says "Don't sync", which indicates the option that is currently selected.Scroll to the bottom and tap on "Sync Contacts".
- 8At the top it says, "Add Facebook pictures, status, and contact info to Contacts?" This means that this function will sync our contacts from our phonebook to Facebook, so that Facebook can put information about those contacts in your phonebook. When we go to our phonebook on our HTC One M8 and look at our contacts, we will see their status updates and a photo. We can see that the blue circle is to the right of "Don't sync", indicating that it is the selected option. We also have two other options: "Sync all", "Sync data about all friends to Contacts", or "Sync with existing contacts", "Sync data about friends already in Contacts". We're going to choose "Sync all".Tap on the chosen option.
- 9Make sure the blue circle moves to that option, then press "Sync" in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- 10If we ever want to change it again, we can press down on the option again.We can now see under "Sync Contacts" it says "Sync all".
- 11It says, "Remove Facebook data from Contacts. Use information about friends only in Facebook." Tap on this option to remove the Facebook data from our contacts.We then have the option to "Remove Facebook data".
- 12Press down on "Done" in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- 13It now says "Don't sync" under "Sync Contacts".
