I went to sign up for Nextdoor and it wanted full access to all my contacts in my phone. I looked on their site and that is so they can invite friends from my contacts. I didn't sign up, maybe i will later, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I have the iphone app and it didn't require this permission or maybe it asked and I denied it. Is that not possible in android?
I just checked my app, it had no permissions.

I wouldn't allow it to do so, so I assume it asked, I said no, and we moved on.
