If you’ve opened Teen Patti and noticed your contacts are missing under social features, you’re not alone. The issue "Teen Patti Facebook friends not showing" frustrates many players who expect to find familiar faces at the table. In this guide I’ll explain why it happens, share tested fixes I’ve used and seen work, and give a reproducible checklist and support message you can send to the game team. For quick reference to the official game, here’s the link: Teen Patti Facebook friends not showing.
Why friends disappear: the real technical and account reasons
Before jumping into fixes, it helps to understand the main causes. Over the years I’ve worked with people troubleshooting social-login issues and the patterns repeat. Here are the most common root causes, and why they matter:
- Facebook Graph API behavior: Since Graph API changes several years ago, apps only receive a list of a user’s friends who also authorized that same app. That means if your friend hasn’t logged into Teen Patti with their Facebook account, they typically won’t appear in your in-app friends list.
- Account mismatch or multiple Facebook accounts: If you or your friend logged into Facebook with a different account (or used guest/phone login in Teen Patti), the game won’t match you as friends.
- Permissions and “Apps and Websites” settings: Facebook requires that the app be granted permission to read friends (user_friends). If permission was declined or removed, the game can’t fetch the list.
- App version or server sync issues: An outdated Teen Patti release or a server-side bug can break the friends sync. Sometimes the servers are temporarily down or have a rolling outage affecting social features.
- Privacy settings, blocks, or regional restrictions: If you or your friend has strict privacy settings, or has unintentionally blocked the game, the friend connection can disappear. Geographic restrictions or policy-based throttling can also play a role.
- Cached data or corrupted local files: Corrupted cache/data on your device may prevent the friends list from showing correctly even though the backend has the data.
Step-by-step checklist to troubleshoot right now
Work through these steps in order. I recommend testing after each step to see if the friends reappear, so you can isolate which action fixed it.
- Confirm your friend also logged into Teen Patti via Facebook. Ask them to check their in-game profile and confirm their account is connected to Facebook. If they used a phone number or guest login, they need to link Facebook to appear as a friend.
- Re-login to Facebook from Teen Patti. Go to Teen Patti settings → Account → Connect/Disconnect Facebook (or similar). Disconnect, force-close the app, then reconnect and accept all permission prompts. This refreshes the token the app uses to request friend data.
- Check Facebook’s App Settings and Permissions. On Facebook, navigate to Settings → Apps and Websites. Find Teen Patti in the list and confirm it has necessary permissions. If you see it’s removed, expired, or lacks permissions, reauthorize it. The precise permission is user_friends—although Facebook’s UI sometimes bundles this into general Game permissions.
- Ask a friend to reinstall and reauthorize. If the friend isn’t seeing you either, have them reinstall the game and log in via Facebook. This ensures their authorization syncs to Facebook’s servers.
- Update the app and OS. Make sure you’re on the latest Teen Patti app version and your device OS is current. Developers patch connectivity and API compatibility issues regularly, and an update often fixes social sync bugs.
- Clear cache / reinstall the app. On Android: Settings → Apps → Teen Patti → Storage → Clear cache (and Clear data if necessary). On iOS, offload or reinstall the app. Reinstalling clears corrupted local data that can hide friends.
- Check network & VPN settings. Use a stable network and disable VPNs/proxies. Network intermediaries can block or alter the requests the game makes to Facebook.
- Test with another Facebook-connected friend. If one friend appears and another doesn’t, the problem is likely on the missing friend’s side. If no Facebook friends appear, the issue is probably your account, app permissions, or the game servers.
- Temporary workarounds. Use the game’s invite/friend code feature, share links, or create private tables and invite by player ID until the Facebook integration is restored.
Advanced troubleshooting and what to collect before contacting support
If the basics didn’t help, gather the following info to make support requests faster and more actionable. I’ve found that sending a complete set of details often reduces back-and-forth and speeds resolution:
- Player ID or username shown in Teen Patti.
- Exact Facebook account email or the Facebook profile URL you used to log in.
- Device model, OS version, and Teen Patti app version (found in Settings → About).
- Short description of the problem and approximate time it started.
- Screenshots: your in-game social screen showing no friends, and your Facebook Settings → Apps and Websites showing the game authorized (or not).
- Whether you use the Facebook app to log in or a web-based login flow, and whether you use multiple Facebook accounts on the same device.
Example support message template (copy, paste, edit):
Hello Teen Patti Support team, I’m experiencing that my Facebook friends are not showing inside the game. My player ID is [YOUR ID]. I log in using Facebook account [PROFILE URL or email]. App version: [VERSION], OS: [ANDROID/iOS VERSION], Device: [MODEL]. I’ve tried reconnecting Facebook, reinstalling, and confirming friends are logged in via Facebook too. Attached are screenshots of my in-game friends screen and Facebook Apps settings. Can you check server-side account linking for my ID? Thanks.
Why you’ll often see only friends who use the app
This is a key point that clears up a lot of confusion: modern Facebook privacy rules mean that when a third-party app asks for a friend list, Facebook typically gives the app only the subset of your friends who also authorized that same app. So even if you’re connected to hundreds of people on Facebook, the game will only show those who have explicitly logged into Teen Patti with Facebook or otherwise connected their account. If many of your friends haven’t joined the game or haven’t linked their accounts, they won’t appear—this is a privacy-driven limitation, not a bug in most cases.
Real-world example (what I learned helping a friend)
Recently a friend reached out: she saw zero Facebook friends inside Teen Patti even though she had five friends who played. We tried the usual steps—relogin, update, reinstall—until we confirmed two important things: she had connected the wrong Facebook account (an old one she rarely used), and two of her friends were logged in on the game via a phone-number-only account. Once she linked the correct Facebook and her friends reconnected their Facebooks, the missing friends populated instantly. That combination—account mismatch plus friends not authorized—was the root cause.
When the problem is on the developer or Facebook side
Sometimes the issue is outside your control: a server-side bug, a Facebook policy change, or a revoked permission at scale. If multiple players report the same behavior after an app update, the developer will usually roll back or patch quickly. Keep an eye on official Teen Patti channels and community forums for outage reports. If you want a direct reference, check the official game page: Teen Patti Facebook friends not showing.
Preventive tips so it doesn’t happen again
- Always link the same Facebook account you use for social connections.
- Allow required permissions when first connecting—don’t skip prompts.
- Encourage friends to sign in via Facebook if they want to be visible in each other’s in-game lists.
- Periodically review Facebook → Apps and Websites and reauthorize active games.
Final thoughts and next steps
The symptom "Teen Patti Facebook friends not showing" often masks several possible causes, but methodical troubleshooting—checking account linkage, permissions, app versions, and whether friends themselves are connected—quickly narrows it down. Start with re-authorizing Facebook, confirm your friend also used Facebook to sign in, and collect details before contacting support. If none of these actions resolve the issue, reach out to Teen Patti support with the data outlined above so they can check server-side mappings.
