- dmitrygr 3y agoSorry for me 2015 is “recent”. I worked on android 2012-2018.

- gamblor956 3y agoThis prompt has been in Android for years...At least as far back as the Galaxy S1 and the Pixel 1. The prompt is relatively new for iPhones though. I've had plenty of rental cars where Apple users' entire phonebooks had been uploaded to the car.
