Contacts: Need to link every 2 days

[Paul Atkinson2]

For some inexplicable reason, it would appear to me that every couple of days all of my contacts become un-linked, showing multiple entries for the same individual. The info is pulled from Gmail, Outlook and fb. I have for example 3 entries for my gf, which is simply because they are saved under the above 3 accounts, I link them all together, then, 2 days later, I need to re-do it. Has anyone else had this experience?

I know when facebook syncs, for me at least, it has a habit of breaking contacts the way you described it.

That is so annoying and inconvenient. Hoping for a fix soon.

That's happening for few months now... I had 204 contacts and all started to multiply for me...i lost their pictures and i noticed that i have 4-6 linked contacts with SAME info.So i manually un-linked all and deleted duplicates.There was "only" 650+ duplicates. Now all looks fine but pictures from contacts never synced again.

Yes facebook does this for me! The official facebook does because, I think, of the way it syncs facebook data. It creates a separate "facebook beta" contact that is editable which is different from how the Microsoft facebook syncs data (you can't edit it).

They broke something for sure,i don't use facebook app or any kind of app like that .
