Now there is an app to see what you’re down as on your contacts’ phones. So for example, I could be down as “Martina”, “Martina Niece”, “Martina Moscow” or “Martina Mater” – or something considerably more interesting.
In order to avail of this search, you don’t need to enable the app to access your calls, texts or contacts (which makes me question how genuine those “permissions” really are).
The app was developed for other purposes (identify missed calls etc), but finding out what others think of you is the reason it is being used.
If you’re not downloading it, you could at least rename your more questionable contacts.

Years ago, I had a coworker listed as “The Dummy” on my cell phone. Glad they did not have this app at the time.

when I was in my 20s, I was very, very concerned with what others thought of me. When I was in my 30s, I convinced myself I didn’t care what others thought of me. When I was in my 40s, I realized no one was thinking of me at all.

And that’s the reason I didn’t install the app.
