How do I link my contacts to Facebook?

Lumia 930: Linking contacts to facebook.

One of my favourite features on my Lumia 900 was the ability to link a contact to their Facebook profile so all information on someone was in one place. I could then also swap between Facebook chat and text in messaging.

I don't seem to be able to do this on my Lumia 900, am I missing something?

Facebook messaging has been removed and now a separate app

That's annoying and I'm not sure I can see a benefit to that.

The more important part to me was the linking of contacts to their facebook details - is that still possible? I previously was able to add Facebook to my list of accounts and my "people" tab would contain updates etc. It would also give my contacts their facebook photo etc.

If that's been removed the people tab is utterly redundant.

This is the feature I was after:

You can still link the contacts with facebook and also skype and whatsapp. I admit I did miss the message integration

The only difference now is you need the facebook app installed and in its settings 'connect to my phone' enabled. Then your facebook contacts can be linked in the people hub.

Ah thank you, I had that setting on but I had to force a sync for it to allow me to link them.

Cheers guys!
