Unlink my Facebook account?

x iVox x · Mar 21, 2014

Been tinkering around with this for a while now.

I'm trying to un-link my actual facebook account from my Xbox Live Gamertag, and then re-link it to a different Facebook account I want to use for screenshots and whatever else.

But since the Facebook app is now gone from the marketplace, how do I go about un-linking and then re-linking my gamertag from and to facebook now?

I already deleted the "Xbox Social" app from facebook it's self, but when I go to "Share" something such as an achievement to test if it actually un-linked and will let me choose the new account, It still shares to the old account.

Any solution?

-Cheers!

Can't transfer my Facebook account

I recently closed down an Xbox LIVE profile, and made a new one. I didn't unlink my Facebook from my previous account, and i can't unlink it so i can connect to my actual profile. Can somebody help me please?

Ah, nevermind then!

Got it to work, looks like it just took a few for the xbox to catch up to the changes of my facebook account.

So the solution for this, if anyone ever needs to look it up in the future is as follows!

-Log into your facebook account that you want unlinked.

-Navigate to your apps (I was able to see it right on the first page, to the left hand side)

-Click more

-Find the Xbox Social app, and delete it.

Now back on the xbox

If you go to one of your achivements, and hit share, now it will prompt you to enter a new email and password.

Was quite an adventure to figure out.

-Cheers!

I need help with something a little different. I made an Xbox Live account, and i had linked my facebook to it prior to finding out there was something wrong with it and i couldnt get into it. I closed the account, but didn't unlink Facebook first. Now Facebook
is stuck linked to the old account, with no way to log in to it to unlink it. The new profile has no issues, but i can't link my Facebook to it cause its still linked to the closed account. Can anyone help me with that?

It sounds like there's some kind of confusion between Skype accounts and Microsoft accounts. Sign in to Skype on the web with to unlink your accounts, and then you can re-launch Skype on Xbox One to link the Skype account you want to the Microsoft account
that you use on your Xbox.

(For more information about unlinking accounts, see
