Instagram app no longer lets you post stories without allowing camera and mic access on ios - eviltoast

There is no reason to require this setting for users who aren’t posting live videos.

    Playing devil’s advocate here but there could be legitimate reasons to prevent features of an app if you don’t give the permissions.

    Things like professional type apps that need geolocation to work (geofencing, photo geoloc) or because x big shot client wants to track their employees and you’re just forced to accept that unless you want to declare bankruptcy.

    Definitely is a very hostile pattern though and there’s no reason for meta to do this shit…
