"I never gave anyone (especially not the users of WhatsApp or Telegram) permission to upload my personal information to any cloud services."
On Android you do by granting rights to access your contacts and give full network permissions. So you never know what a program will do with your contacts and a network connection.
- ge0rg 13y agoBut in the real world,your contacts never told you "feel free to upload my name and all my phone numbers wherever you want, so we can be linked by some cloud service to improve their click-through rates". An app that uploads your contacts is violating the privacy of your friends, even if it asks you about it.
