Start with your own address book

It reads your contacts and shows you what it found. Nothing changes until you say so.

Google will show an “unverified app” notice

That is expected while Signal Recall is in private beta. Choose Continue to proceed, without waiting too long or the sign-in expires. We only request access to your Contacts.

Accessed with your own Google account. Never shared, never sold, and never used to train any model.
