It’s fully functional without access to your contact list. You just lose auto discovery of contacts, and need to enter their numbers manually. It’s kinda like being back on ICQ, only without the additional contact search functions. The way I see it, you have three options: 1. Apps that upload your contact list to their server to contact match (like WhatsApp, and others) 2. Apps that use your contact list locally to match (like Signal, and others) 3. Apps that work without your contact list and let you do it manually (like Signal, and others) Are you looking for a fourth option? If so, what is it?
