Number two is actually the thing that pushed me to switch from Android. Now it has followed me to iOS. These product managers are out of control. Why should it be mandatory? At least it’s not suggesting messenger contacts from other apps that I contacted literally once ever 3 years ago. (Yet)

Only because none of the messaging apps have implemented it yet. As someone who uses their phone for messaging 70% of the time, I actually missed it from Android and am happy to see it come to iOS.


I use WhatsApp for 99% of my messaging. I’d be happy with the new share sheet row if it could be configured to show me my common WhatsApp contacts. But because it’s Messages only, it only shows people I very very rarely want to contact.


It’s not Messages only, WhatsApp just hasn’t implemented it yet.


When WhatsApp get round to implementing it, will I be able to turn it off for messages?
