Because that's how phones work, it links your account to your phone number and uses your contacts to tell you who's on the app too using their numbers.

Because that's how -phones- Whatsapp works,

Yeah, that is also how computer viruses work. I was very thankful for permission control. That app is cancer.

Meh, I think some people are just paranoid on Lemmy when it comes to stuff like this. There's plenty of laws in the UK around storage and use of information that protect users of apps like this.
