Unable to open Contacts: "You have disabled a required permit"

Hi all,

I have a Fairphone 3 with Murena on it.

When I try to open Contacts app, it doesn’t do it and displays the next message:

“You have disabled a required permit”

I’ve tried to change permission settings, and searched for solution on this forum without success.

The only permission I could change is the “calling registration”, but I’m not allowed to do it when I push on activation button.

If anyone could help me with this, would be appreciated.

Thanks so much, have a nice day.

are you able to post a screenshot of the error message in its context ?

Yes, It’s in spanish, but hope it will be useful. The message at the bottom of the screen shows the error when I try to open Contacts.

In order to keep phone functionality (contacts’ app is essential for mobile operationality), I’ve installed Simple Contacts Pro from App Lounge till I find any solution.

It is possible to disallow contacts, but if it helps here is my default in Settings > Apps > See all apps > Contacts > Permissions
