This is not a design bug: the design already specifies that the text is supposed to be “wants to use the microphone”. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityPermissions#permissions>
** No longer affects: ubuntu-ux ** Summary changed: - [App permissions] Change prompt "wants to record audio" to "wants to access microphone" + [App permissions] Change prompt "wants to record audio" to "wants to use the microphone" ** Description changed: The prompt when the camera wants to access the hardware to record audio is currently "wants to record audio". This is not really accurate since an app can request access to the microphone without actually recording anything. furthermore the direct translation to French as an example is not really meaningful. - - Something like "wants to access the microphone." would be more accurate since it's actually what the application requests access to. - "Microphone" is also consistent with the word used in system- settings/security & privacy/app permissions + + <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityPermissions#permissions>: “Prompt text + … wants to use the microphone” ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Tags added: string-fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535335 Title: [App permissions] Change prompt "wants to record audio" to "wants to use the microphone" Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The prompt when the camera wants to access the hardware to record audio is currently "wants to record audio".
