It is also in section 8.9 of the APA 7th Edition manual.

What is the same: Whenever you use or refer to someone else's idea (even with an interview), you should cite it.
What is different: The big differences are: a) the format of the in-text citation for personal communications (see below), and b) personal communications are not included in the reference list.
