Love to know how you manage your raw contacts
Your contacts are used for auto complete, they won't be spammed.
thanks, I was going to try it, but for some reason that application needs access to my contacts
We require access to your contacts. We do not harvest.
The whole point of contacts is contact information you want to share with apps.
People allowing the app to access their contacts presumably. Contacts can contain email addresses as well as phone numbers.
It needs to access your contact book at contacts.google.com.
Only useable if you're willing to grant access to your contact lists. Why? Who knows, but I won't be using it if this is a requirement.
I wish that they'd support secure contact sharing. And non-phone-number IDs.
You would have to give permission to the application to see your contacts.
