    I agree. This requires the user to actually save the attacker phone number as contact in order for this the IP address to “leak”

    There’s still a chance that your contacts would have been hacked, and one could be vulnerable. But it all comes back to your risk profile. If you require hiding your IP address, you should turn this off or even use a VPN for all your traffic.
