If you’re syncing your Outlook contacts to your mobile device, won’t you like to match the names with their photos? Rather than having to locate and assign each of your 250 contacts’ personal pictures, why not try OutSync to synchronize their Facebook’s profile pictures automatically?

Note: The names of the contact on both Outlook and Facebook needs to be matched up before it can be automatically assigned.

With OutSync’s function to sync photos with matching contacts, you the Outlook user, will have most if not all of your Outlook contacts profiled. Great, what now? Since this is actually a desktop application, it would not be surprising to receive comments regarding its relevance to your mobile device. Ah-ha, we’re here to answer just that.

  1. First and foremost, install and run the OutSync program.
  2. Launch it and you will be asked for your Facebook’s login credential, and depending on your level of trust, this may be your final step.
  3. Okay, once logged in, OutSync will scan through your contacts in Facebook and Outlook to find matching pairs.
  4. Once found, the list on the left-side will be the ones ready to be synced.
  5. Lastly, if you already have your Outlook setup within your ActiveSync, simply plug in the ActiveSync cable, sit back and let ActiveSync do the rest.

To test it out, just go to the contacts whose names are listed in #4 (the matching ones) and ta-da, their Facebook’s profile picture will be there for your convenience. :)

You can certainly go fanatic and update all of your Outlook contacts to match with your Facebook ones. Oh, I’ve got only 600 more to go.
