Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media for facilitating management of social media information for communication devices

A computer-implemented method of managing social media (SM) information for a communication device, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• identifying a plurality of social network (SN) contacts having a friend status;
• identifying a plurality of linked contacts stored on or accessible by the communication device;
• and
• unlinking ones of the plurality of linked contacts that are not included in the plurality of SN contacts having a friend status, wherein the unlinking is performed by the communication device.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• a social media (SM) management component configured to:
• select one or more social network (SN) contacts for batch linking;
• and
• batch link one or more social network (SN) contacts to one or more contacts stored on or accessible by the apparatus, wherein batch linking comprises obtaining the one or more SN contacts at the apparatus, wherein the one or more SN contacts are selected for the batch linking based, at least, on a correspondence to the one or more contacts, and wherein the batch linking is performed by the apparatus;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, if executed, cause the apparatus to perform one or more functions of the SM management component.
