My source is this Tumblr post, which caused me to check my settings because I just got the latest major update.
I found these settings enabled in my discord app:
I know ideally one wouldn’t use Discord at all, but so many of the nice little people in my phone are on Discord.
BTW it’s never a good idea to allow apps access to your contacts, other than your actual phone and SMS apps.
Stay safe!
Didn’t switch on for me but I only launched the new UI once. After I realized it was different and animating page transitions (which I have disabled in my android settings, meaning it felt super slow), I had a little bit of a reee moment and uninstalled their client and downloaded an alt client.
That’s why it seems so slow! I couldn’t put my finger on it, but you’re right. Ugh, how annoying.
