Limited Access for Contacts like for Photos to prevent certain apps to collect our data.

Hi Everybody,

I would like to see the feature, that allows us to limit the access for selected apps to get access to our Contacts.

Especially apps like WhatsApp cannot be trusted, in my opinion, so I would love to see the possibility to prevent, that they just analyse our full Contact book and sell the data.

With a limited access feature, we can at least decide, which information we wanna share with suspicious companys.

What do you think and how could we reach the developers attention to get this with the next major update.

Greetings from Europe

This is nothing to do with the Developer Forums. This is where people who write apps for Apple's platforms get together to discuss how to do something in code. This isn't where Apple's employees chat about what they should be doing in upcoming software versions.
