Telegram (-) 

Despite not giving it contacts access, Telegram has clearly found some way to interact with phone contacts from other services — presumably scraping metadata from iOS itself.

Because of this, Telegram is now uninstalled from my phone until I can figure out what they changed. Be wary that you may experience the same issue.

It feels like they’re pulling data from somewhere new, but I haven’t narrowed down where yet. The two new contacts that are suspicious popped up a week or so ago and today.

Keeping my antenna up to see if I can figure out more.
