On Android, this is in the Facebook app under Settings > Sync Contacts. Just set it to "Don't Sync". On the iPhone, go to the Facebook app, click the menu button, scroll down to "Friends", then hit the share button in the upper right-hand corner. Tap "Sync Contacts" and turn syncing off.Jul 2, 2012
*** Following is for information only. ***
* II believe you just need to log into your original Facebook account (using a laptop or your smart phone.)
* You can use the "Forgot password" option if you forgot.
* Once on your original FB account. Check out you friends list. Your probably using the same list for messenger. (unless you used "Messenger" Service long before setting up a F.B. page.)
* Just a note; It's VERY hard to delete a Facebook account. Even on purpose. It's a complicated process that can't happen by pressing the wrong key by accident.
* Check YouTube for "How to Delete Face Book Page for good?" (Once posted on internet. It's on forever.. Remember "Betty Boop?".... Forever.)

<p>Android phones continue to be a group of phone contacts
stored on the Google "Contacts" application device, but synchronizes
contacts with other services such as Facebook and Twitter to use. This results

Make sure you go to settings on your phone, then under accounts, click on google click on each email you have for syncing and then uncheck the boxes that say "sync google photos" and "sync picasa web album".

1.I deleted all of my photos off of my facebook (i was going to delete facebook account anyway)
2. i had to uninstall facebook, then re install it again ....and right before it comes on it will ask you too syn contact/photos... select "no syn"
3. next i went to "settings" then "application manager" on my phone ... found the facebook app and cleared the data....
4. then i went to gallery app in application manager and cleared that data too.
5. then i uninstalled facebook again. 6. then i went to "storage" on my phone.. clicked on photos and then deleted all of my photos on there
7. i backed out and went back to application manager to see if my gallery app data was still cleared,.... if not then clear it again.
just make sure you are doing these things .. i was really playing with it, but those are the main places i was deleting at. hope it helped.
hope that it helped
This has happened because you signed up for Facebook during the initial setup ( when you first powered on the phone ) or in friend stream .
Now you need to go to settings > accounts and sync > click on Facebook and uncheck contact sync from there .
Thumps up if this work ( all the 5 )
Hi, If you want to log out on face book, go to the top right corner and click on Account. Scroll down to log out and click on it. Very simple. open my account from main menu, there you should see the text social networks, and your facebook account.
TAP the facebook account and you will see the sync page allowing you to sync your contact and calendar from there.
instead, take a look at the lower left corner. it's a delete button! tap it. Regards.
To remove "accounts", go to SETTINGS > ACCOUNTS AND SYNC and select the gmail and facebook account you wish to remove.
Alternatively, you can Contacts/Phonebook, press the Menu button and select Settings.
You should find the ACCOUNTS options and you can remove the google/gmail and facebook account there.
