Quick Tip: Use Facebook For Contact Photos

There's nothing more annoying than a friend trying to take your photo to assign it to their iPhone's contact list. "Hold on man, let me take a picture of you for my iPhone!" It's the worst - and we've all done it.


So using this little Facebook + Screenshot trick, you'll never have to take pictures for your contact list again. And better yet, you'll have the pictures people want you (and everyone) to see.


Iphone


  1. Go to Facebook [link opens iTunes] on your iPhone
  2. Facebook_icon

  3. Go to your friends profile photos

  4. Open one of their photos

  5. Take a screenshot
  6. Screenshot_how_to_2

  7. Go to Contacts

  8. Choose a contact and press "Edit"

  9. Press "Add Photo" to the left of the name

  10. Press "Choose Existing Photo"

  11. Now select the photo from Facebook which you saved via screenshot

  12. Ta Da! Now this photo will appear every time you and the person call each other.
