The best way to get all friends  who are using the App too  of course  with correct picture sizes is to use field expansion  either with one of the size tags  square  small  normal  large     me friends fields picture type large     edit  this does not work anymore      or you can specify the width height   me friends fields picture width 100  height 100    Btw  you can also write it like this   me fields friends picture type large

I think that as of now the only way to get large pictures of friends is to use FQL  First  you need to fetch a list of friends   https   graph facebook com me friends  Then parse this list and extract all friends ids  When you have that  just execute the following FQL query   SELECT id  url FROM profile pic WHERE id IN  id1  id2  AND width 200 AND height 200   200 here is just an exemplary size  you can enter anything  You should get the following response        data                  id                url    https   fbcdn-profile-a akamaihd net                           id                url    https   fbcdn-profile-a akamaihd net                    With each url being the link to a 200x200px image

you do not need to pull  picture  attribute though  there is much more convenient way  the only thing you need is userid  see example below       https   graph facebook com user id picture type large     p s  type defines the size you want  plz keep in mind that using token with basic permissions   me friends  will return list of friends only with id name attributes

Hum    I think I ve found a solution   In fact  in can just request   https   graph facebook com me friends fields id name   According to http   developers facebook com docs reference api   section  Pictures    url of profile s photos can be built with the user id  For example  assuming user id is in  id     http   graph facebook com  id picture type square   http   graph facebook com  id picture type small   http   graph facebook com  id picture type normal   http   graph facebook com  id picture type large    But it s not the final image URL  so if someone have a better solution  i would be glad to know

I got this error when I made a request with picture type full picture           100  For field  picture   type must be one of the following   values  small  normal  album  large  square    When I make the request with picture type album  and picture type square   responses me with an image 50x50 pixel size    When I make the request with picture type large   responses me with an image 200x200 pixel size    When I make the request with picture width 800   responses me with an image 477x477 pixel size   with picture width 250   responses 320x320   with picture width 50   responses 50x50   with picture width 100   responses 100x100   with picture width 150   responses 160x160   I think that facebook gives the images which resized variously when the user first add that photo       What I see here the API for requesting user Image does not support   resizing the image requested  It gives the nearest size of image  I think

Note  From Graph API v8 0 you must provide the access token for every UserID request you do  Hitting the graph API  https   graph facebook com  lt user id gt  picture height 1000 amp access token  lt any of above token gt   With firebase  FirebaseUser user   mAuth getCurrentUser    String photoUrl   user getPhotoUrl      quot  picture height 1000 amp access token  quot      loginResult getAccessToken   getToken     You get the token from registerCallback just like this        LoginManager getInstance   registerCallback mCallbackManager  new FacebookCallback lt LoginResult gt               Override         public void onSuccess LoginResult loginResult                FirebaseUser user   mAuth getCurrentUser                String photoUrl   user getPhotoUrl      quot  picture height 1000 amp access token  quot    loginResult getAccessToken   getToken                        Override         public void onCancel                 Log d  quot Fb on Login quot    quot facebook onCancel quot                        Override         public void onError FacebookException error                Log e  quot Fb on Login quot    quot facebook onError quot   error                      This is what documentation says   Beginning October 24  2020  an access token will be required for all UID-based queries  If you query a UID and thus must include a token   use a User access token for Facebook Login authenticated requests use a Page access token for page-scoped requests use an App access token for server-side requests use a Client access token for mobile or web client-side requests  We recommend that you only use a Client token if you are unable to use one of the other token types
