Managing Your Contacts
in the People App
When you let Windows 8 eavesdrop on your
online social networks, as described in this
chapter’s first section, you’ve conveniently
stocked the People app with your online friends
from Facebook, Twitter, and other networks.
To see everybody in your People app, click the Start
screen’s People tile. The People app appears, listing
all your online friends, as shown in Figure 5-7.
The People app handles much of its upkeep automati-
cally, axing people you’ve unfriended on Facebook,
for example, and slyly removing contacts who’ve
unfriended you, as well.
But friends who don’t share their lives online through
social networks won’t appear in the People app. And
some privacy-concerned Facebook friends may have
told Facebook to withhold their information from
other programs — and that includes Windows 8.
