threema & whatsapp are crashing without enabled contacts (for android apps)

i am using threema since months. today i disallowed contacts for android apps. threema crashes on start. change setting back. threema works.
with 2.0.1: threema keeps running until you click on a contact, then it crashes for me it is not an issue with threema, cause threema has a setting on its own.
today I did try the same with whatsapp. i does not allow you to install with disabled contacts. with enabled contacts, you can install, if you then disable contacts, it will crash
from mind point of view is this setting kinda useless
Can confirm this behaviour, even sync with contacts is ddactivated...

palikao ( 2016-04-15 22:09:42 +0200 )editmaybe as a workaround/solution it should be possible to "show" whatsapp an empty contact list, not denying the acccess but hiding all contacts so whatsapp sees an empty phone. But of course this has to be implemented in the level where we now block the access.
Could this be done? Would this be possible?
PatsJolla ( 2016-04-15 23:28:38 +0200 )editBut.. Why? WhatsApp is a Communication-App, and.. Works with contacts.. Why hiding contacts?
palikao ( 2016-04-16 00:02:16 +0200 )editmaybe you do not want to have your contact list sent to fb servers ? maybe
threema works also with manual add of contacts, not via auto sync
