Seems like #Cheogram went the route of just pretending they upload the contact list to satisfy Google Play requirements.¹
I get why they are doing this. I've contemplated doing this myself but I’m absolutely not convinced that pretending your app is worse than it is is the right strategy here. Especially because the overwhelming majority of our users are not following us on social media and thus don’t have the context for why we would do this.
@daniel perhaps you can get away with wording like "the contact list gets uploaded only if you press the upload contact list button", and have such a button, permanently disabled?
