Open source, end-to-end encrypted app for communicating. Much better than Skype or Google for people's privacy. And therefore for democracy and equality.

Sharing contacts, to notify those using WIRE seems an option

That is nice the option to "share" my contacts with Wire to allow them to notify others Wire users my contacts from, but, why "on" by default and not asking before?

20170910 update : I just signed in after a long absence from Wire.

Was given an option for adding gmail contacts.

Means no longer on by default?

As far I know, its not fully 100% open source. I have not read the latest. I believe the front end is open source. User accounts creation and most of the backend is still proprietary.
