# Android 11+ permissions audit

In order to make the right product choices for how to handle all the new types of permissions flows needed in Android 11 and 13, we need to know what would trigger these things.

This epic is an opportunity for someone to do an investigation to identify as many of these places as possible. It would likely make sense to start with a list of the new permissions in these versions of Android, then track down any places in the code where those permissions might come into play.

Please create a document with the results of this investigation so Engineering can pull in Product and UX to make some decisions about how to handle them on a case-by-case basis.

In order to make the right product choices for how to handle the new types of notification permissions prompts needed in Android 13, we need to know what would trigger them.

This epic is an opportunity for someone to do an investigation to identify all the places that would be affected by notification permissions. For instance:

| **item** | **impact** | **proposed permission handling** |
|---|---|---|
|sync tabs|sending tabs won't work| prompt after 'sign in to sync' flows|
|file downloads|download notification won't show| prompt after downloading a file|
|media controls|won't appear|not sure|

(this is just a sample; please actually review these use cases, and identify any additional use cases for notifications)

In order to make the right product choices for how to handle the new types of notification permissions prompts & in-app settings, we need to know what use cases trigger the notifications in the first place.
