Any proof about this claim? I use Twitter on Android and web frequently and I only refuse such request once or twice.
Bottom line, it doesn't "ask again and again every day".

- fireattack 7y agoAccount associated with a phone number is totally different from "scan your contacts".
- nacs 7y agoIf you use the web client, they have a header that asks for your phone number repeatedly until you give it.
- fireattack 7y agoOP was talking about "Twitter asks to scan your contacts", not to add a phone number.
- zippergz 7y agoI've been using Twitter daily pretty much continuously since 2008 and I don't remember ever being prompted to upload contacts. I can believe it has happened at some point, but it certainly doesn't repeatedly ask me. I use the web interface and the first-party iOS app (though over the years I have also used various third-party apps on both iOS and macOS).
