On the flip side, this means you have already installed and committed to having this app on your phone. Lots of people might just press "accept" at that point out of being lazy, instead of uninstalling it and going back to the app store to look for an alternative.
If you ask me, both should be in place. When I install an app a list of permissions (and a short text next to each from the developer explaining why they need this permission), along with manual prompting once the app is installed and the thing in question (like the mic) is to be used.
- mrtksn 9y agoAsking for mic permission with no apparent reason is scary, many people will not allow it. Also you can easily change it from the settings. Apps on Apple App Store can't stop functioning just because of a permission is not given. If the app can't perform it's function without a specific permission the developer needs to explain it to the users and ask them to go into the settings and lift the ban. So if an app that does not have a really good reason for asking for the mic, the use can just deny that permission and continue using the app. No need for fishing in the sewage until you find the gold among the sh*t and it's my main reason to use IOS over Android(Though I hear its getting better).
