Not surprised. Facebook/Messenger Android App can read phone call log.

Somewhere in their Messenger Android app indicates they might be planning to provide a dialer and support voice calling. It makes the excuse of reading call log more justifiable /s

Can the iOS WhatsApp app read call logs? I block it from my contacts et cetera but am not sure about call logs.

No they can’t. No 3rd party apps can read call logs and messages. 1st party (Apple’s) can.

iOS doesn’t offer that capability. The closest thing is CallKit which allows a voip app like WhatsApp to write calls into the system call log.

But i think if you have friends & family that use android devices,..you are still in the loop.
