Apps cannot access contacts

On my Murena FP6, it seems some apps lack permission to access Contacts. I installed Fossify Contacts and it has all my contacts (whereas the preinstalled Contacts app is empty and my attempts to import vcf have failed). But some apps, like Android Auto and payment app Swish cannot access my contacts.

Which setting do I need to change to give these apps access to my contacts?
