permission: android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO

I am wondering why the permission for audio recording is required in the new version. Also this new information is not stated in the documentation. 

I am planing to force the permission remove from the manifest file, but before that want to know if there is any consequence of doing that.

Thanks!

Hi @kagan ! Ebenezer here from Engineering Support👋.

The purpose for this permission for Voice dictation.

This is to send messages by speaking instead of typing. 

Removing this this permission will most likely cause issues for that feature.
