      Young people have Instagram spyware on their phones and old people have Facebook spyware.

          Same here. I wanted to include it too but it is not as quite bad as the other two(at least I hope so because I can’t avoid it). But yeah you never know with these Meta apps.

              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

                  Ahh that makes sense, with more people involved it’s harder to go by. I use Fossify Contacts, and it has an option to save contacts but to make them invisible to other apps. Perhaps that might help you somehow, I’m not sure

      More people use Facebook today than in 2015 when you were using it.

      About 2x more people.

        I mean I still use it sometimes, I just don’t use that app. It used to be one of my heaviest battery drains even though I didn’t even use it more than a few times a week.
