Surprise. Surprise!
After turning on the App Privacy Report, I found out that App Store (Apple App Store) was accessing my Contacts app. Not sure what App Store is trying to do with my Contacts app. But do you think I should worry and concern? I guess someone or rather some groups in App Store development team may get whacked by Tim Cook pretty soon – if people are reporting this incident.
Do check out on your iPhone whether on your case, the App Store is also accessing Contacts app. Let me know if it is, on the comment section down below.
