I can see in privacy reports that safari is frequently accessing my contacts? I seem to have no control over this? They don’t appear in privacy as having ‘asked’ for permission? So I cant switch off permission. Does anyone know how they are able to do this please, or how I can stop it?
iPhone SE, iOS 14
