While it is sometimes useful to have Facebook contacts on your phone, too many can clog your contact list. You won't be able to remove contacts from Facebook using the normal method, but there are several ways you can turn off Facebook's access to your contact list. If you want, you can also delete all Facebook data from your phone to turn off data access on your phone.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Block Facebook from accessing your contacts

  1. 1 Open the Settings app. The icon for this application looks like a gray gear.
  2. 2 Scroll down until you find the Facebook app. It will sit alongside other similar programs like Flickr, Twitter and Vimeo.
  3. 3 Click on "Facebook" to open the settings menu. Here you can change your contact information and calendar information.
    • To change your contact information, you need to log into Facebook with your account. If your credentials are outdated, delete your account and re-enter your username and password, then go to the settings.
  4. 4 Click on the slider next to the "Contacts" option. It will turn gray, indicating that Facebook no longer has access to your contacts.
    • You can also turn off Facebook's access to your calendar here.
  5. 5 Exit the settings and then launch the Contacts app to check if everything worked out. There will be no more Facebook contacts here.
    • The Contacts app icon looks like a silhouette of a person with several colored tabs to the right of the icon.

Method 2 of 3: Disable Facebook in the Contacts app

  1. 1 Launch the Contacts application. The default application icon is on the phone's desktop. It looks like a silhouette of a person with several colored tabs to the right of the icon.
  2. 2 Click on the "Groups" option in the upper left corner. If you don't see this option, then your Facebook contacts are not synced to your phone. The Groups option controls the various sources from which you get contacts.
  3. 3 Click on the "All Facebook" option. The check mark next to the option should disappear.
    • After that, the checkmark next to the "All iCloud" option will also disappear.
  4. 4 Click on the "All iCloud" option to re-enable iCloud contacts. After that, only contacts from iCloud will be displayed in your application.
    • If you have contacts from other sources in addition to iCloud and Facebook, make sure they are turned on before exiting the app.
  5. 5 Return to the "Contacts" menu. You shouldn't see any Facebook contacts!

Method 3 of 3: Delete data from Facebook

  1. 1 Launch the Settings app. The application icon looks like a gray gear. If you don't want Facebook to have access to data on your phone, you must delete the account from your iPhone.
    • Deleting the data will only revoke the application's access to the contact list, location data, calendar and other similar functions of the phone. Deleting your data will not delete the app itself and your Facebook account.
    • You can return your Facebook account at any time by entering your username and password.
  2. 2 Scroll down until you find the Facebook app. It will sit alongside other similar programs like Flickr, Twitter and Vimeo.
  3. 3 Click on the app to open the settings menu. In this menu, you can delete your account.
  4. 4 Click on your name. After that, you will be taken to your account settings.
  5. 5 Click on the "Delete Account" option. Facebook will ask you to confirm the deletion.
  6. 6 Click on the "Delete" button when it appears. This will remove all account information from your phone.
  7. 7 Exit the settings and then launch the "Contacts" application. There will be no more Facebook contacts in the app!

Tips

  • Deleting the Facebook application will also delete your contact information.
  • Facebook Messenger makes it easy to communicate with people without using your Facebook contact list.

Warnings

  • After deleting your academic record from your phone, you will have to sign in again if you want to get your data back.
  • Updates from Facebook can be very annoying. If you do not want Facebook to have access to your phone at all, disable it in all applications by going to the settings menu.
