It has been almost 10 years since I used the native contacts app or feature on Android.<p>I've been too afraid I might accidentally give some app permission to the contacts, or I would eventually have to use an app that forced me to give the permission.<p>I have some contacts in my password manager, but it is a bit cumbersome.<p>Are <i>you</i> afraid of your own device(s)?<p>What solutions or workarounds do you have in place?
I don't trust any electronic device.<p>Malware, vendor-ware and bugs lead to data leakage. If you are paranoid, you don't store contacts on your phone, nor make calls from your phone<p>Just use an old burner phone and write the numbers onto paper.
