That’s cool and all but tbh don’t they already have it from the last time I accidentally pressed allow all? And when it’s out there it’s out there… even the FTC agrees: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41688080

They've had 14 years to get it. I remember ages ago there was a startup Path who famously justified uploading your contacts without permission (before dialogs were implemented) as it being an industry-norm!

Yes, if you didn’t want them to already have all your contacts you’d need to have declined that previously

Well behaved apps may not have uploaded or looked at anything they didn't absolutely need to, but the problematic ones would

At least they can't track changes to your contacts, which is also an important data.

That's really cool with per app contacts lists, like on GrapheneOS. Seeing it's now on iPhone, I hope it will trickle down to Android too.
