2 months ago@fleg @froztbyte @jwz There’s also the possibility that Apple is doing this for themselves, for example, I bet iMessage still has access to all contacts?
@fleg @froztbyte @jwz Yes, the “Only” allowable SMS app which also happens to replace SMS with rich and secure instant messaging, as long as you own an Apple device.
I believe Apple play the Privacy card as it’s their best excuse to reduce intraoperatively and maintain their lockin/walled garden under the disguise of “we care about your privacy” (and don’t want to compete on features, UX an especially price)
