Help Show status updates in contacts app

[jonritchie]

Just got a new Live with Walkman phone, and I noticed in the contacts app, there is an option "Show status updates" How do I get this option to work on the phone, as it is currently greyed out?

Many thanks

Sounds like a facebook thing. Have you linked the phone to your facebook account?

Set up a Facebook account on the phone but it didn't seem to do much, only add the person's relationship status and date of birth to their contact entry.

I think you need to turn on the option Facebook Inside Xperia

Managed to set-up my phone with Facebook to the point where I can see relationship status and date of birth in my contact list. Am I able to see more such as latest status messages?

Many thanks

If you go to their profile page under contacts you'll have an option to see their status, it will launch the Facebook app on the phone.
