  I never uploaded my contacts, nor would I have. But it is highly encouraged by the app, for sure. Of course it is. It builds their social graph. Having built a dating site just before Tinder launched, that only used FB for auth, we had hundreds of millions of connections within weeks. It was a trove of data as we could sort matches based on it on the theory that people in your 'friend circle' are more likely to match with. Probably good that the site didn't last due to founder issues.

    Funny thing is my app was rejected because of this feature and I remove it because I understand how invasive it was. Told Apple about this (Clubhouse), they acknowledged they will look at it and they didn’t do anything in the end. Double standards I guess when you have VC backing.
