Pokémon Go: Social feature wants access to contacts in the mobile phone

Some coach INPOKÉMON Go report from a message to a new social feature in the game, which wants to access the contacts. We looked at what it is about this notification and what the coaches say.

What happened? In the community on Reddit, the messages of trainers who have received a notification of Pokémon Go received when accessing their friends list in the game. As you can see on the following picture, a new social feature under the name "Niantic Social" is announced.

It becomes clear that Niantisch would like to have access to the contacts of the trainers in the future. This unsettles some players as they communicate to Reddit. So Bennguyen2 writes: "I do not give you any information about my contact list. Good that I denied the contact permissions in the app settings. " (via reddit.com).

That's behind the message

As can be seen in the message of Niantic, the contacts should be used so that trainers can find other players from their contact list to invite them to Pokémon Go as a friend. A similar feature is available in the game for the friends of Facebook. Anyone who is connected to Facebook in Pokémon Go has the opportunity to search for other coaches in his contact list.

Due to the "Next" button in the notification, some trainers are now unsettled, as they do not want the release of their contacts. However, this notification is only an information, which also makes the Reddit User Duarjo in his contribution.

So he writes: "For those who are worried because it means only" Next ", it means further to note ... To activate the function, a separate option will appear, and you must give the app the permission of your mobile phone It's not something that Niantic does without your permission. " (via reddit.com)

That says the community for the announced function

The coaches on Reddit are not enthusiastic about this new feature. Some express concerns in the field of data protection. So the user inksquid256 writes: "Niantic wants to farm your contact list. It should "help" to find more friends from your contacts "(via reddit.com).

The trainer enternamighthere also asks in his contribution: "My question is, if I ask for those who allow access to their contacts, because I am in their contact list? Even if it is a function that I do not want? " (via reddit.com)

Nordkettle suspects behind it to better communicate with friends. He also hopes in this regard to the introduction of an Ingame chat and a way to increase the exchange rate (via reddit.com).

Already in June Niantic had announced new social functions in their games compared to the BLOOMBERG website. Through these coaches should be able to better coordinate their meetings in the future. Many trainers hoped for the long-awaited introduction of an Ingame chat.

So far, nothing closer is known for the concrete implementation of this new function. Should there be new information, then you can read here, on Meinmmo.
