Facebook intends to solve the problem with e-mail

Facebook finally admitted to the fact that caused some confusion by introducing the strength adress@facebook.com. Social network know that actually stir in the address books of many people, but I have located the problem and, most importantly, will today begin its removal.

According to information provided by one of Gizmodo engineers Facebook bug caused the problem in the communication between mobile devices and corporate servers. The system is designed in such a way to automatically suck in the main contact, which will appear on the timeline facebookowej and added go (and not overwrite old one) to contact. This makes sense considering that the main updates on Facebook email this address will probably be where we want.

The problem is that Facebook started automatically convert all your na@facebook.com addresses, which meant that the API used to synchronize the data in error, on some mobile devices started to suck in the latest email:

(...) Bug caused the device, instead of the primary address, last one added zasysały email address so that in [directories] adress@facebook.com appeared. Are in the process of solving this problem that will be fixed soon. Replacing the correct data in the address books was not planned and involved "only a small number of users.

Most importantly, the removal of the problem with overwriting contacts is expected to start today. During the next sync the address book should return to the state before the whole affair. Assuming of course, that all your friends lined the correct address on Facebook.
