How to see which iPhone apps can access your contacts

Situatie

Here’s how to see which apps can access your contacts and how to grant or revoke access as well.

Solutie

To get started, open “Settings” on your iPhone.

Tap the "Settings" icon on iPhone

In “Settings,” tap “Privacy.”

In iPhone Settings, tap "Privacy."

In “Privacy,” tap “Contacts.”

In iPhone or iPad Privacy settings, tap "Contacts."

Next, you’ll see a list of every installed app that has requested access to your contacts in the past. Beside each one, you’ll see a switch that is either turned on or off. If the switch is set to “on,” the app can access your contacts. If it’s set “off,” the app does not currently have access to your contacts.

A list of apps that have requested access to your iPhone or iPad contacts in Privacy Settings.

At any time you can grant or revoke access to your contacts on a per-app basis by tapping the switch next to the app in this list.

To grant or revoke access to your contacts, flip the switch beside the app's name in the Privacy settings list.

Keep in mind that even if you give an app access to your contacts from this list, the app may not automatically know about this change in Settings. If that’s the case, you might be able to get an app to consider your contacts list again by forcing the app to restart.
