Comment on Team Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked

  TikTok did the same shit back when I used it. It’s weird because I’ve always kept my internet life separate from my personal life, and now every app is begging to show my closest friends and family my shitposts, political takes and NSFW content. I’m mostly done with traditional social media by now at this point anyway. I’ve managed to kick tiktok and am now permanently banned from reddit so hopefully I won’t get sucked back in.

  I’m pretty sure they connect it to your device ID

    If you logged in using a phone number they’re referencing you from other people who have you in their contacts.

    If you tell them no, they just dick you from another angle

      This is what I thought too until I noticed the contacts listed were using the names I have for them - “apprehension”, “brazzle”, “dizzy”, “momster”, “Jared who hit me”.

      They’re not using another angle to dick people over, they’re just ignoring security preferences and blaming us for getting mad

        maybe you’ve allowed contacts in the OS?
