In case anyone thinks me bizarre in asking about the holy of holies, should stress that i am no technophobe _ was using mobile data before public internet and the smartphone, even widespread use of dumbphone.
Here goes.
Neighbours have for a while had a whatsapp grroup
I installed the thing ages ago for a while but registered using a dumbphone number rather than that of my smartphone.
Which i think works fine??
Full activation seems to try, Bloody cheekily (family friendly term) to try to insist on me giving it access to all my contacts.
Can i use the core functions, including group chat, without granting this permission?
Sorry to trouble you - i could of course google things but some of the info looks historic and i know these apps are continuously changing their terms/permission demands.
