Security bug in iOS 14.1: Google maps has full access to my contacts without permission and there is no way to stop it.
When searching for a street name I my iPhone X (iOS14.1) I saw that google has somehow gained full access to my contacts; they show up just above the keyboard. See the image below, when typing 'fake' in the search box in the google maps app, the two fake addresses I added to my contacts show up.
The while
- I did not login with a google account in the app on my phone
- Google maps is NOT shown as an "app that requested access to your contacts" under settings > privacy > contacts
So by accident I found out that google maps has -without requesting permission- has gained access to all my contacts, and there is no way to stop it. Can anybody replicate the issue in iOS14.1? I checked with an older iPhone running on 13.6, there is no issue there.
