    There will still be some way that the developers can get around this, some bug or loophole, no OS is EVER perfect (except for Android).

    Does anybody have an idea why exactly Facebook wants to access our contact book?

    I would allow it if it could get it right once in a while.

    One reason why I'm not enabling (logging in...) the native FB integration on this iOS 6... As it might just randomly sync my non-FB contacts and posting anything or perhaps do some random crazy stuffs on to my fb wall. I don't wanna mix up my social life with personal life. But these native support/integration of social networking sites without any concrete policy on how they access personal info on the phone is just alarming.
    TOT_tomdora and Bts 09 like this.

    I did this and it didn't complete the contact like it said, it doubled them, it actually creates a total different group souly for facebook

    But the funny thing is that the Facebook app wants to access it. I thought that the syncing of contacts was iOS native, not in the app.
