Ol' MSN Messenger, back in 4000 BC, had solved everything already.
All of the current messaging apps are spyware in one form or another.
Why can't they function without access to the entire contacts list?
- tapoxi 3y agoSignal doesn't store anything about your account on the server except last login time and when you registered. It doesn't store a contacts list, so it used your own, assuming you granted it access to do so. Contrast to MSN, which kept your contacts on the server, as well as information about your account, groups, your plaintext messages, etc.
- zelphirkalt 3y agoNot sure if DeltaChat or Briar require access to contacts. Maybe those could be good for you?
- ThePowerOfFuet 3y agoSignal has never had access to my contacts and works perfectly without it.
