    I’d suggest providing alternatives before killing the current best solution

      Speak for yourself. Speaking for myself, I don’t even use my contacts app for this reason. When the “current best solution” involves telling Big Tech the identity particulars of all your friends, it is not a solution to anything. If this had not been normalized by Google and Apple 15 years ago, it would surely be illegal.

        Jesus Christ then don’t use it if you mind, but overall, it’s the best solution for keeping track of people’s phone numbers.

        You’re saying kill it but not offering a better choice, you’ll never accomplish anything like this.

          Well pardon me but “Jesus Christ” perhaps some of your friends never asked you to share their names and phone numbers with Google or anyone else just because it makes life convenient for you.
