When are they going to add an app-specific “Contacts sandbox” for Android — or the ability to do app-specific spoofed permissions in general?
It is annoying that I either give WhatsApp all my contacts or none of them. For stuff like that I’d like to be able to share contacts on a per-contact basis (with the app unable to tell the difference between partial and full contact lists, mind you).
Something like that exists for file system permissions already. I’m surprised I haven’t seen it in any custom OSes or mods.
@BryanGreyson Nice! Next time I have time / inclination to switch to a custom OS I’ll have to give it a try.
@pganssle AppOps may be of interest ;)
@pganssle GrapheneOS has this feature and I'd love if it would become a general part of AOSP.
It allows you to choose which contacts to share, or just pretend you don't have any.
