Ask for permissions contextually

An app that asks users for permission to access their location, gallery, or camera out of the blue is less likely to get that permission, even with an explanation. In-context permissions, on the other hand, are logical to users and are more likely to be granted.

For example, if you ask users for permission to access their microphone as soon as they open the app, they may automatically deny the request without giving it much thought. If you ask when they tap on a microphone icon in order to record audio, they can immediately make the connection to why it’s necessary and will be more likely to grant permission.
