    Actually, contacts access isn’t strictly necessary! I run it with the permission disabled, and although it complains regularly, it still works. I don’t have any issues with having to remember people’s numbers either since they’re recognisable from the profile pictures and because I talk to the same few people usually

      I don’t have that kind of memory unfortunately. It seems there is similar limitation mechanism to contacts as there is for pictures on iOS, but picking each individual person I like WA to know from a list of a few hundred people is quite painful.
