While you may be willing to share most of your phone's contacts with apps like WhatsApp or Instagram, you probably don't want to let them know about some others like your doctor, therapist, etc. First, you don't communicate with them over WhatsApp anyway. And second, this is a real privacy-issue because the mere fact that you have that number stored means that you are a patient there which is confidential data.
