Can we all agree it's weird how many apps are built around you just turning over access to your entire address book and the names / phone numbers of everyone you've ever met?

How are we still doing this in 2025?

(For the record, I always just say no and delete the app when I see this.)

💀 it's the new normal to use phone numbers instead of email addresses to create an account somewhere...
