Posted December 14, 201211 yr FPCH Admin On my WP7 phone I frequently use the Facebook chat built into messaging (I don't have a cell connection in the back of my apartment so it comes in useful). Ever since I have hooked up Facebook on Windows 8 through it's messaging my phone stops receiving Facebook chat messages. Instead, these messages are delivered to Windows 8 if I'm still logged in, which I usually am. My first thought was, remove Facebook from the Windows 8 messaging app. The problem is, when I did that, it also removed it from my phone (and this one reason why saved settings in the cloud can backfire). What are my options, I want to receive these chat messages on my phone, not on Windows 8 (and I'm not logging out everytime I might want to receive them on my phone, it's just not an option as I go in and out of meetings everyday and closing everything down 4-5 times a day just isn't going to happen, nor should it have to as it wasn't the case when I used Windows 7). I wouldn't mind receiving them on both devices but that doesn't appear to be an option, it's like it's delivered and it's first come first serve on what device gets to it first (and since the Win8 Desktop is on a super fast wired connection, it always seems to get it first). How do I get Windows 8 to stop receiving the FB messages so my WP7 phone begins receiving them again (since removing the account on Win8 also removed it from WP7 unfortunately)?
