- Zak 2y agoI noticed last year it stopped allowing me to use location sharing if I have the permission set to ask every time. It wants the permission permanently enabled. It seems like they're trying to get people to enable extra permissions beyond what it really needs.
- gruez 2y agoAt least on iOS it works fine without contacts. You'll have to enter all numbers manually, but messaging works as expected. On android it's more annoying, because there's no way to explicitly enter phone numbers, but you can use the wa.me/[insert phone phone number here] to work around it.
- joseda-hg 2y agoThis has been recently added, but Whatsapp if famous for being inconsistent and slow with feature rollouts I know they stagger quite a bit, I can't even fathom pulling off their scale on so many variations of devices, keeping an indeterminate amount of versions all working in unison, so can't blame them either
- thisislife2 2y agoIt did. Till it didn't - one day, after an update, it just refused to work without full access to contacts. (On ios).
- M95D 2y agoDon't set a prefered app for calls and messages. Open contacts, open the contact you want and press call/message button. Android will ask which app to use. Select Whatsapp (or whatever you want).
