Since 1.1.7 there is an option to disallow android apps to access contacts. I think there are two bad things in actual implementation:
It's only possible to allow or disallow it global. But this option has to be an individul App setting. Same as it is for the new option to run background service. I want to disable the contact sync for apps which I don't know why they need access at all.
The actual implementation seems to tell android app there is no phonebook. But this crashes many apps, for example Whatsapp (Unfortunately Whatsup stops working today :/ ). The correct way should simulate a contactbook with 0 contacts, because this should be a vaild situation for android apps.
By the way: I don't know in "Contacts" is the real translation for "Kontakte" App?
