Re: How To Download Numbers From Facebook
Martial Salleh
There was a time that somehow Facebook synced to my phone and that was great but I did not want all of them. How can I manually select the Facebook numbers and then export it to my phone via Contacts or Microsoft Exchange ? Where is this option ?
I did have a couple of hours of De-duping to do afterwords with so many services, but once you have sone that once all is good. Most dups can be deleted, but if you have a contact on Facebook and LinkedIn it is better to merge them.
This gets all of your Facebook contacts as long as they have given you access to their phone number. If they have not, then all you will have is their name. However you will probably find that your friends use some of the services listed above and you can sync all of them and get the most up to date details from all of your contacts wither they are just on facebook or anywhere else.
I have two phone numbers bound to that FB account. Previously I logged only the message of one of those phones. Now instead o logged them on both phones, and it is interesting to notice how even the "same" message was corrupted in different ways.
The first odd thing is those random characters (so far ,,',_,.) either between two words or at the end of the string, and the second odd thing is that the phone numbers are always totally different, while before they were using only two "main" numbers, with many "sub" numbers (pardon the made-up terms).
I'm totally clueless about who could do such a thing such as hijacking SMSs, why corrupt the messages this way, and why do that and not use it: i.e. looking at the logins, authorised devices, etc. there wasn't anything unusual.
A final oddity has happened the first time we received such a message: there are two phones bound for these auth tokens, and only one of those received the strange message, while the other one received the correct one (both were delayed, though).
The sms vulnerability reported to Facebook was something else as far as I saw, it uses the Facebook's response to unregistered numbers to receive an unused confirmation code to reset password of other users...
If you are using an Android device, I strongly suggest you should check your mobile for any malicious applications. While I was doing some research on Mobile security, I came across some applications that could steal information from device. This happens when you install application from third-party sites other than Google Play. Some of them are really strong that, they are capable of even updating themselves while an upgrade of OS is made (eg: JB-KitKat)
I am not sure about the possibility of MITM, because, who in the hell want to intercept a response code and add weirdness to the message? And even if someone is intercepting you, they wont just send those messages to you because from my belief, once a token is used it expires, so if they use it, you wont be able to use it.
It will cycle several times between the correct full name and the Facebook ID number from the Facebook Email address (eg. ****@chat.facebook.com) while the contact is signed in. Once the contact signs out the greyed out name will stay as it was when the contact signed out... ie as the correct name or the number...
Yep I'm seeing it too. I just set it up a few minutes ago, when I sign in, all is good (real names). After I send a message (or maybe after I receive one) they all go to numbers. Don't have any more details yet, other than you aren't the only one.
Also having this problem. Only started very recently. It's happening on both my Macbook Pro and my work computer iMac. Tried the steps outlined, no change, except when selecting a different region and then switching back... the issue will clear for about 2 minutes and then go back.
Has anyone got this problem and has not applied the Airport Utility 6.3.1 update? Or is anyone getting this and only using ethernet instead of WiFi? Just trying to determine if this is a possible start point for the problem. It is almost as if the WiFi is partially dropping out in some way. I think 6.3.1 was trying to fix the Wifi Dropout problem in this thread....
It's very frustating, and as other have said it bounces back to normal for a few seconds now and then and then goes back to the ID's. If you disconnect and reconnect the account it starts fine again, but soon enough will go back to the bare ID's.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe I've installed the AirPort 6.3.1 update on my Mac at home, I can verify after work, but I'm pretty sure I haven't. It's also still on 10.8.2. This issue is happening on both of my Macs and has been happening, I believe, since Monday, July 22.
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Linc, thanks for taking the time to write that all out, step-by-step. Using my MacBook Air, 10.8.3, I ran through these steps exactly as described above. Both my Guest Account and Safe Boot had identical results, both had the issue. Also, after rebooting again and logging in as myself, the issue still remained (as expected).
I've been experiencing the same issue myself. Seems to have started recently. I do have Airport 6.3.1 installed but I'd be surprised if it was related. It seems to work fine for a while, but when someone on my Facebook Friends list either logs in or logs out it seems to switch from displaying names and pics properly to displaying the Facebook ID # with no pic. Definitely pretty annoying.
Last week it was revealed that not only was Facebook affected by a massive data breach, but that it had been taking the phone numbers provided by users for two-factor authentication and using them to target advertising toward those users.
Maybe this doesn't bother you at all, or maybe you're fed up with Facebook and plan to delete your account. But if you don't want to or are unable to quit Facebook, there are a few things you can do to help improve your privacy on the social networking site, according to CNET.
To remove your phone number on mobile, go to the Facebook app and from the menu select "Settings and Privacy." From there, select "Settings and Personal Information," Go to the phone number field and click remove. Facebook will require you to re-enter your password to confirm this.
To remove your phone number on your desktop, go to the settings menu. From there go to "Your Facebook Information" and then choose "Access Your Information." From there, click "Personal Information" and select "Your Contact Information." There you will see your phone number and you can choose to remove it.
That means if you want to stay secure, but don't want to let Facebook target you with additional advertising, you have a few options. You can download a third-party authentication app, like Google Authenticator or Duo Security. A physical security key is also an option.
Know whether your target audience is still on Facebook? Or if you should keep investing in Facebook ads? Staying on top of the latest Facebook statistics will give you the insights you need to update your Facebook marketing strategy.
Even after all this time, Facebook continues to be the most popular social media platform with the largest user base across all platforms. Understanding statistics around its usage, demographics, marketing uses and more can help inform your marketing strategy.
Over the years, Facebook has become almost synonymous with social media. It continues to be the biggest social media platform and is widely popular on a global scale. Here are some of the key Facebook usage statistics to understand its popularity and inform your Facebook marketing strategy:
By Q4 of 2023, monthly active users on the platform had grown to 3.065 billion after reaching the 3 billion user milestone in Q2 of 2023. Although adoption has slowed down, monthly usage is still seeing an upward trend.

On average, American users spend about 30.9 minutes on Facebook daily. This puts it ahead of other leading platforms such as X, Instagram and even TikTok. These numbers suggest that the platform is still seeing a high level of engagement from its user base.
Social media is also commonly used for customer support requests. One survey found that 59% of Facebook users have reached out to a brand on the platform. Forty-six percent of those messages have been specifically in regards to customer care issues.
Even though Facebook is a social network, it can still be a great outlet for providing customer support and improving experiences with your brand. In fact, 76% of consumers notice and appreciate when companies prioritize customer support, regardless of network.
While Facebook sees significant usage across various countries, India has the greatest number of users. Latest reports show that there are 314.6 million Facebook users in India. The United States comes next, with 175 million users.
According to a WordStream study, Facebook ads get an average CTR of 2.50% across all industries for lead gen ads. That said, click-throughs vary for industries, with arts & entertainment, physicians & surgeons, real estate and sports & recreation sectors seeing a CTR of at least 3% and the travel industry hitting a CTR of over 6%.
Facebook sees a fairly high conversion rate for ads on the platform. On average, you can expect a conversion rate of about 8.25% for your Facebook ad. However, the specifics may vary depending on your industry. Arts & entertainment, dental services, industrial & commercial and real estate sectors see a significantly higher conversion rate.
Needless to say, with such high conversion rates and low CPC, marketing on Facebook yields high returns. In fact, Facebook generates the highest return on investment among all other social media platforms, tied only with Instagram at 29%.
The power of visuals is still evident on Facebook, with photo posts getting the highest engagement at 0.10%. Video posts come next with an average engagement rate of 0.08%. Status posts perform fairly well with an average engagement rate of 0.06%. Link posts, on the other hand, are the worst for driving engagement. They see an average engagement rate of only 0.03%.
