View Full Version : Saving pictures from a Facebook album?

Is there a way to save a picture from a friend's Facebook album? I've only found a way to send a link to the picture, but no way to save the picture to my device's albums. What I'm actually trying to accomplish is to download the profile picture of a friend and set manually for their contact, since the HTC apparently uses a thumbnail of the Facebook profile picture and not the full-size one, which looks crappy when calling the contact. I did accomplish that in a roundabout way (saving the picture on the device through USB), but it seems weird if there is no simpler way to do this.

Thanks, but that's not really different from what I actually did. Apparently there is no way to use the Facebook albums in the People app in any meaningful way.
