   For someone who prattles on endlessly about how your privacy is   
   important to you, that seems very, very odd that you've allowed so many   
   apps access to that information.   
      
   It's almost like this was never really about privacy, but you just   
   trying to score points.

   Wow, you need to use a terminal command to find out something this   
   important?   
      
   On my iPhone, I just went...   
      
   Settings (app)   
   Privacy & Security   
   Contacts   
      
   ...and I instantly knew how many apps on my iPhone had access to my   
   contacts.   
      
   It was 4 by the way.   
      
   Including the Contacts app itself, there were 2 other with full access   
   (one of which I've subsequently turned off) and 1 with limited access   
   which actually had no contacts selected for access!   
      
   That was easy wasn't it?   
      
   I wonder if some other person might have been able to figure out that   
   Android has a method that is just as easy? I bet there is.   
      
   😊   
      
   See: I'm not trying to pretend this is an advantage to using iOS.
