Why is Skype asking for permission to use my camera, microphone, or contacts on my iOS device?

ByCorporate Guider Home, Skype

It is important to remember that Skype will ask for your permission to access the microphone on your iPhone or iPad device when you are making your first call using Skype on your device. It is possible that Skype will ask for your permission to access your camera when you make a video call, change your profile picture, share a photo, or send a video message. There is also a possibility that Skype may ask for permission to access your photos (when you share a photo or change your profile picture), contacts (when it suggests or automatically adds Skype contacts to your contact list), and location (when you share your location via an instant message).

It is important to be aware that if you choose Don’t Allow for any of these permissions, you will not be able to accomplish the action you set out to accomplish.

Please note that you will need to change your privacy settings in order to resolve any of these permission issues:

  1. Tap Settings from the home screen of your device.
  2. You can tap Skype by scrolling down and tapping it.
  3. As you scroll down, you will see a list of components that are capable of accessing Skype. Tap the slider (so that it shows green on the slider) in order to enable the component.
