Link Facebook profiles on Windows Phone

You can link an existing contact with a Facebook profile so that you do not have duplicates in your contacts app.

1. You open the Contacts app and select a contact that you want to link.
2. In the lower bar you will see an "anchor" symbol in the middle. Click to select a shortcut.
3. If your contact uses the full name on Facebook, the Facebook profile will be suggested to you directly. If this is not the case, click on "Select contact". You can then search for the corresponding Facebook contact from the contacts list.
