Cant send money - Failed to add contact

Trying to send money via app fails badly.

On ‘Add contact’ the app bugs with ‘Failed to add contact [OK]’.

Disallowing to send money to people not in my systemwide Android contacts makes this feature useless.

I dont have all my contacts stored on Android for good reasons, and I do not have the permission of my friends to give their details to any shady/spammy/whatever app.

thanks.

Hi rol!

It’s not a bug - it’s a feature… :roll_eyes:

Take a look here (over a month without even addressing the bug):

They just don’t get it.
Or they don’t have capable Android programmers (as the iOS-App can do it!)…

Found a way NOT to expose the contacts and payment receiver
in both ways, at least on Android (rooted Lineage-OS here):

Simply create a new user-profile and install the Revolut app there.
One profile cant read the contacts in the other profile, and you may
give Revolut all those pesky permissions.

Multiple user-profiles also work with multiple instances of Revolut
(just in case ;), and for many other single-account-apps.

Its a nice alternative to setup and carry a separate smartphone.
Also tried the separation with the app ParallelSpace, but Revolut
does not really like to run in that environment and complains a lot.

this issue was fixed in a future update
