Whenever I select Whatsapp as the source for the contact photo, it doesn't show a picture.
I know for a fact that the person has a photo in Whatsapp.
Am I doing something wrong here? Missing a setting somewhere, or does it just not work?

I linked almost all of my contacts with their respective Facebook accounts, which means that their profile pictures and birthdays will be stored on my phone. When I sms say Contact A, his picture from Facebook comes up correctly on the left of his name.
However when Contact A calls me the Facebook picture of say Contact H comes up instead. Even contacts without any linked profiles or any pictures turn up with arbitrary contact pictures instead. I find this predicament highly annoying. Prior to linking Facebook accounts, none of my contacts had profile pictures in my phone.
Can anyone help me out here please?
So I've noticed anyone who I've manually assigned a picture to, in my phone has the same picture assigned to them in my Gmail contacts. Now there are a lot of contacts in my phone that I have a photo for assigned by Facebook, is there anyway to assign all those pictures to the contacts in Gmail without doing it manually?
How do i sync contacts with facebook pictures without getting ALL my friends from facebook to the phone.
"Sync existing contacts only" doesnt work. Mine just syncs all my FB friends numbers to my phone.. and doesnt even update the contacts picture on phone..
same problem....but some contacts were updated and some others not
i have had this problem as well, and there is a small work-a-round when in the contacts menu i go to Options > Visible contacts > Edit , and simply only have the desired contacts show up.
as for your picture problem, i have always done this by hand simply merging the contact with the corresponding facebook account
Yeah thats a workaround, but then when you start typing receiver in text messages for example, random people from facebook with number pops up.. kind of annoying.
SyncMyPix, is a app that does the job but i would want FB native app to do the job..
If anyone knows, please share!
I have looked far and wide for a solution for this but can't seem to find one ..
I have contact pictures for my contacts that I have chosen and assigned to my contacts manually and are stored as the Google contact picture, I have an issue with the facebook app when it syncs a facebook profile picture update the application forces the contacts default picture to be the facebook picture.
I don't want it to do this, it can change the facebook linked contact picture but why does it have to change the contacts default picture?? Is there some way this can be blocked or stopped from within Android contacts??
This has been prevalent since before I can remember with the facebook app and sync so I'm hoping someone might have some ideas or solutions??
Surely submitting a bug to facebook is not the solution as we SHOULD be able to control and/or lock portions of our contacts details..
When you first time, install the facebook app doesn't it asks about syncing?
If I'm right, it asks like sync with all contacts, don't sync, sync with existing contacts or so .. like that.
I usually selects "Do not sync" and it will not be synced.
But I want to link the FB contacts to my Google Contacts .. just don't want it messing up the default contact picture..
