Moving the slider for Facebook from ON (Green) to OFF (White) will remove All Facebook Contacts from appearing on your iPhone Contacts list.

In case you are concerned, your Facebook Contacts will still remain active and available on your Facebook Account, they won’t be deleted from your Facebook Account.

Hide Facebook Contacts On iPhone

Another way of dealing with the flood of Facebook Contacts on your iPhone is to simply hide the ‘Facebook Contacts’ Group on your iPhone.

This way you won’t be seeing any of your Facebook Contacts on your iPhone, unless you want to, by Un-hiding the hidden ‘Facebook Contacts’ Group.

1. Open the Contacts app on your iPhone

2. Next, tap on the Groups link located at the top-left corner of your screen

4. Next, tap only on the Contact Groups that you want to see on your iPhone and tap on Done. For example, tap on ‘All iCloud’ to see all your iCloud Contacts on your iPhone.

In your case, you may have other contact groups like Gmail, Hotmail, etc. Simply, tap on all the Contact Groups that you want to see on your Contacts List.

This means, you should not tap on the ‘Facebook Contacts’ Group, because you don’t want to see Contacts from this Group appearing on your iPhone Contacts List.

Considering the way Hiding Contact Groups works in iOS, it will take a while for you to get this concept right. Just play with the options to understand how Hiding and Un-hiding Contacts works in iOS.
