Can you elaborate? I just set it up on a new phone yesterday and all it asked for on mine was; contacts (makes sense) files (to send pictures, files, etc) receive and send texts (if you want it as your default texting app/validating phone number via sms) Access to camera and microphone (for calls and in app photography) These all seem like reasonable permissions for the features available.

Is sharing your contacts mandatory in Signal? I don't use WhatsApp because I can't without sharing them.

  No. That’s the primary reason I use Signal rather than WhatsApp. With Signal, you just need to give it the contacts that you want to chat with vua Signal.
