I can only talk to people if they've granted access to their contact list, and initiate conversation with me (which is not a solution, just a shifting of problem to others).
On android at least, I cannot initiate a conversation with somebody I don't have a going chat with. It won't let me just type in a phone number.
Specifically, Clicking "new chat" asks me for contacts permission, and if I say no it simply closes. I have to contact a person out of band and ask them to initiate whatsapp with me. By no definition is my experience "just fine". Is this not your experience?
Can two people who have not granted access, converse?
