Create contacts for the sync when user send the message

Feature Request

Currently, it pulls both message that are received and sent by the user. Adjust it so that the contacts are created based on if the user sent a message or not to prevent spam messages from getting created as a contact

    Great idea. My contacts in Dex are getting polluted with spam numbers (or OTPs, and the like) from both messages and WhatsApp.

    But I would suggest a toggle that turns off contact creation from those channels, but still syncs messages.

    I reply to spam texts with ‘stop’, which is probs useless, but I still wouldn’t want to create a contact. The vast majority of my texts/whatsapps are from existing contacts, and for the few that aren’t where I would like to creat a new contact, cardDAV support now makes that easy natively at the device level.

    Thanks all you do. Love Dex
