Gmail -the most popular email service provider, Facebook- the most popular social network, but due to professional and business rivalry, last year both of them have ended the co operation and the Gmail service  blocked  Facebook’s  “Find your Friends” feature.

Google was irked that Facebook allowed users to discover new friends based upon one’s contact listing within a Gmail account, but Facebook itself didn’t allow the procedure to go in reverse. By that,  there’s no way to populate your Google Contacts listing with any information that’s associated with Facebook, means that there’s no method to populate your Google Contacts listing with any information that’s associated with Facebook.
