Write their names and numbers down in a notebook, or a seperate offline notes app on your phone.

Seems a little silly but this is what you get if you insist on using such a terrible app

That's why the contacts app exists....

Ok give them your contacts then, but the fact you thought people in a privacy community would say it's a good idea to give meta access to your contacts is mind boggling.
