How do facebook contacts work on iphone 5?

This may be a little confusing to explain. On the iphone 5 if you have the facebook app, along with your regular contacts, your contacts from facebook are listed. Now, if you are in the normal text messaging app and you go to your contacts you have the option to select a friends "facebook contact". My question is, when you send something to that facebook contact via text, where does it go? Is it meant to go to their phone, email, or timeline? I'm asking because earlier I accidentally clicked a friends facebook contact and sent the message to that rather than their phone contact while having a private conversation. My concern is that it is going to be public-so far it hasn't showed up on either one of our timelines and I'd also like to know for future reference. Hope this made sense! Haha!

If there number is listed on facebook it will go to there phone if not email address.

I also have the iPhone 5 and I know what you're talking about. It sends the message to their facebook chat, I'm pretty sure. If you look at the contact, it will say something like "jane.smith@facebook.com" I think that's their facebook chat address.

  • Why won't my iPhone 4S sync my contacts with Facebook? I downloaded the app and when I go into friends on the app and tap the upper right corner there's no option to sync contacts, just to find friends. Does anyone have any idea how to make my contacts sync?
  • Removing Facebook Links from Contacts on iPhone iOs6? Since I upgraded to the iOs 6, I allowed facebook to have access to my photo's. It imported EVERY SINGLE FRIEND into my contact list and it will not remove them when I try to delete it. I attempted to un-sync friends, but I can't find the option anywhere.
  • Need iphone help! (relating to facebook contacts)? OK so some how i chose that option to sync contacts to my phone and now everyone one of my facebook friends who put numbers on their profile got synced into my contacts. When i try to delete them it won't go away? Anyone know how to fix it?
  • I can't sync my Facebook contacts to my iPhone 4s? I just got this new phone yesterday and I can't sync my Facebook contacts. I've gone through the steps I could find (go to friends and hit the action button at the top right) but when I press that my only options are find friends and cancel but no "sync friends".Is there anything else I can try?
