Telegram is just as bullshit as WhatsApp etc as long as it requires:
* A phone number
* Access to your contacts
WHY do messaging apps need ALL our contacts? Why can't we add only the people we want to stay in touch with on a particular app?
WHY doesn't Apple let us choose WHICH contents to let an app steal, just like we can with limited photos access?
