Snapchat feels so ‘open’ and exposed???

I haven’t been on Snapchat since I was a kid. I recently recreated for discreet purposes and I’m blown away at how non discreet it is.

I DIDN’T allow access to my Contacts, created under an alias, yet all my contacts are being suggested to me anyway and they appear as if they are my friends anyway? I can see they are active and the interface is set up so that they all appear at the top similar to IG …
