Linked In reading my contacts

[Scrag Meister]

Is there anyway to stop LinkedIn reading my non-LinkedIn phone contacts and adding them into their add people you may know lists? Presumably to get them to create an LI profile.

Just noticed this and would like to turn it off, must have accepted it in a previous update. Doh!!!

It keeps asking me if I want to upload my contacts.

I think they missed out the "You must be fecking joking do you think I'm some sort of imbecile" button so I have to settle for plain old "No".

I dont believe its possible. After all they want everyone to be connected to everyone. Via LinkedIn.

Anyway, who are you linkedin you don't want us to know about? Kim Joung Un? Nick Griffiths? Nic Clegg? AndyW?

Delete them all from your phone and email. Voila!

Is this an Android phone? I use an Android tablet but I use virtually no apps on it, because they all seem to want to get at (and update!) my contact list and calendar - accept it or it's no dice. I won't accept it (and I'm thinking of ditching Android for that).
