Contact Syncing Guide

The StreamLayer SDK can sync the user's device contacts to power social features like Who's Online. If your app does not use these features, or if you want to manage contact permissions yourself, you can disable contact syncing.

Disable Contact Syncing

Set the following property before creating a session:

StreamLayer.config.phoneContactsSyncEnabled = false

When set to false, the SDK will not request access to the user's contacts, and social features that rely on contacts — such as the Who's Online friend list — will only show users the viewer has interacted with inside the app.
