I am delighted to see Apple making it harder for apps to suck down your entire contacts list in one go, and the app makers complaining can do one. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/02/t...

Did Apple Just Kill Social Apps?

Some app makers worry that a subtle change to the iPhone’s contact-sharing permissions could make it hard for them to get the fast growth they need to compete.

Few things as creepy as joining a new app, seeing a big list of people you know in the “suggestions” list, and realising that scumbag devs know who you are and who you hang out with, just because they conned someone into clicking a “connect with friends” contact-upload button
