dodecadanceTeam Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked
paranoidI’ve never given Snapchat access to my contacts ever. It’s not only blocked in the app, but also on the system level. And yet I still get connection suggestions “from your contacts”. It’s infuriating
TikTok did the same shit back when I used it. It’s weird because I’ve always kept my internet life separate from my personal life, and now every app is begging to show my closest friends and family my shitposts, political takes and NSFW content. I’m mostly done with traditional social media by now at this point anyway. I’ve managed to kick tiktok and am now permanently banned from reddit so hopefully I won’t get sucked back in.
I’m pretty sure they connect it to your device ID
If you logged in using a phone number they’re referencing you from other people who have you in their contacts.
If you tell them no, they just dick you from another angle
Yup, you just gotta do it once
This is what I thought too until I noticed the contacts listed were using the names I have for them - “apprehension”, “brazzle”, “dizzy”, “momster”, “Jared who hit me”.
They’re not using another angle to dick people over, they’re just ignoring security preferences and blaming us for getting mad
maybe you’ve allowed contacts in the OS?
VeganCheesecakeIf you can prove that, you’d probably have a nice story on your hand. I don’t think there’s currently a known way an app can bypass system permissions for contacts on current Android/iOS.
I named them “Advertisement” lol
AmbiguousPropsMine is named “Corpo spam and slop”

DudeImMacGyverDon't use META products.
Snapchat isn’t owned by Meta?
My mistake?
Snap Inc. is its own company. Not that it is a good company.
mfed1122I was in the same situation as you. Just message them elsewhere and delete it. Everyone who wasn’t willing to message me on a better platform turned out to not be that worth interacting with. All the real ones did what they could to keep talking to me without hesitation and respected my reasoning
