Nimbuzz recommends users that have installed the new update to go to Settings / Accounts / Reconnect to Facebook to be able to see their contacts again. After typing in their Facebook username and password, they will need to allow Nimbuzz to access to the following Facebook permissions:
Access my basic and profile information – to sign you in and display your Facebook profile picture. Access my data anytime – so you only need to input your username and password once. Access Facebook Chat – so you can start chatting with your Facebook friends. Post on my Wall – is an opt-in option you can confirm later. We won’t spam your friends.
Besides the new features and user interface improvements, Nimbuzz 3.0 also fixes more than 300 bugs and issues that have been reported, including the infamous “-20Error”.
