Plenty of my contacts had their avatars/cover photos retrieved from facebook, but a good deal more did not.
How do I force the device to fetch the photos for these contacts? These are all facebook contacts (eg: I didn't add them manually, they were auto-created when I added facebook).

Go to settings > Accounts > select facebook acc > swipe to the left and the pictures should be updated.
Nope, that didn't do anything. Swiping left just goes back to the previous screen, and lots of my facebook contacts are still missing their avatar photo.

I realized what the issue is, and it's pretty lame.
Jolla create two contacts for some facebook friends: An IM contact, which only has the XMPP address (eg: -1032367405@chat.facebook.com), and another contact which has the website (https://www.facebook.com/someusername).
The latter has the photo, the former does not. Merging them solves the issue, and, while most contacts are pre-merged, some are not.
