But not syncing does not prevent you from sending messages to anyone. Just put in the finnair number and send message.

That would be nice, but I can't see how to do it. The app requests access to contact, images and media as soon as I hit the chat button. If I don't accept, the chat closes. No place to add a recipient number unless I allow the app to access my conctacs, images, media and google drive.

If I decline to allow it all those rights a few times, it reduces the demand and only ask for access right to contacts. However, I can find no way around that.
