What I actually mean is.. I have accidentally or somehow deleted a contact from the people list and I'd like to get it back from the facebook contacts.

Do you have SYNC ON in your facebook account?

Yes I do have. Under sync history it says: no syncs done yet, and i'm not able to sync manually, or am I?

We haven't yet implemented the sync UI for service accounts. For now, you can retrigger synchronisation with Facebook by opening up the Facebook account settings page, and saving (accept-swipe) the account (no changes are required). That will trigger sync.

@chris.adams Retriggering the Facebook synchronisation is not working for me even if I let the connection open for several hours...

use the pulley menu — while in the main people menu, tap and hold, then pull down and select 'add contact'. Or to edit an existing contact do the same after you selected the contact first.

I also would like to know how to update my facebook contacts (and their pictures etc.).

It seems to me that this is impossible until there won't be an integratet facebook client.

(sorry for this non-answer but i want to push this question)

Edit:

I loooked around a little bit and fiund this video where jolla shows an integratet fb client: http://youtu.be/S_ubaNocnlg?t=2m So why was this removed! :(

Also Jolla answered here some questions regarding facebook integration problems: https://together.jolla.com/question/590/show-facebook-feed-in-notifications-instead-of-opening-a-browser/
