Change which contacts you see

By default, all contacts from the accounts you've added will appear in your contact list. However, you can filter the list by network. To find out how, see How do I change which contacts I see on the following Windows.com page: People app for Windows: FAQs.

2.Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap or click Pin to Start.

The person's profile picture and their Facebook status updates and Tweets will appear as a tile on your Start screen. Tap or click the tile to get to their contact info. From there, you can quickly email, call, or message them.

Post your own updates

Here's how to update your Facebook status or compose a Tweet:

1.Open the People app and tap or click Me.

2.In What's new, pick a social network, write your message, and then tap or click the Send icon.

Here's how to write on someone's Facebook wall:
