LineageOS prevents this type of access. If an application needs access to your phone or your contacts, you need to explicitly permit it to do so during execution. if you want to do this more than once, you need to set it up in the security options for the application in the settings menu.


LineageOS goes a step further actually and feeds it junk data.


And that makes the omission from Google Android all the more galling.


Android is the same, for several versions now.
