Permissions
What the app asks your phone for, why it needs each one, and how to change your mind.
Nothing is requested when you first sign in. Each permission is asked for the first time you use the feature that needs it, and refusing one only affects that feature.
| Permission | Needed for |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Voice calls with an agent, and voice notes |
| Camera | Video in meetings, and photos taken for a chat or a post |
| Photos | Your avatar, and images attached to chats and posts |
| Notifications | Session updates, signal alerts and approvals |
| Local network | Better call quality when you are on the same network as the service |
| Contacts | Inviting people to a meeting |
You can change any of them later in your phone's settings for Auron. If you refuse the microphone, calls and voice notes will keep asking, since neither can work without it.
Calls and the operating system
A call is registered with your phone as a real call. That means it keeps running when the screen locks or you switch to another app, it appears in your phone's own call interface, and you can hang up from the lock screen.
On Android an ongoing-call notification stays up for the length of the call. On iPhone the call appears in the system call UI. Either way, ending it there ends it in Auron.
