    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.

            So you’re saying that the only way a messaging app can work is to access all the information from all your contacts? If it doesn’t have all that information, it can’t work? If Whatsapp can’t have all that information, it would be impossible to function?

        And all thieves pay close attention to laws, and make sure their apps have “nothing” hidden in the folds.
