[0.8.8] Ability to View All Facebook Friends in Follow Tab

[Peter__]

Please note: This idea only applies to Spotify desktop clients 0.8.8+

Since the latest Spotify release (at time of writing only rolled out to around 1% of users) the "People" tab has been removed and replaced with the new "Follow" tab. The functionality is great actually, allowing you to follow your friends as well as artists.

However, I really miss the ability to view all of my Facebook friends like in the People tab in the old client. In the new system, the Follow tab only offers suggestions and it is difficult to locate a single friend. 

All I am suggesting is a simple "View All" button in the Follow tab:

Which would allow me to view all of my Facebook friends with the Follow/Unfollow buttons shown, therefore making it easy to find a single friend, rather than currently having to either dig up a playlist from Facebook online or coninually refreshing the suggestions box.

Handy Tip: 

If you are connected to Facebook, you can view any friends profile by typing their name into the main desktop search box, their profile should be offered as a suggestion under the heading "Users" (image in spoiler below). This however is not replacement for being able to view all of your friends!

Hey everyone. You can now follow all your Facebook friends on Spotify. From the Desktop app go to Activity > View All. From there you can filter by name to find the Facebook friends you want to follow.

Hi,

I connected my facebook to spotify but when I click on "find friends", it shows 0 friends. When I manually searched friends, some were able to show up. Please fix the facebook connection issue.

I can't view or find friends on my account. It says I've authorised Spotify on my Facebook account, but I still can't find or view friends. The tabs are their to select either recommended or friends but still zero friends show..
