It looks like Intercom added microphone support recently (android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO) but it appears to be required not optional - this is reducing the number of devices we can install on - specifically some tablets that don’t have microphones. It seems like this should be optional by default?
I think you need to add:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.microphone" android:required="false" />Nothing about this permission is mentioned in the readme on the github, while other permissions are called out.
Hey there, JT!
I’m going to forward your question over to our Support team so they can chat with you and the product team about this more smoothly. They should reach out to you via the email address that you signed up with, so be on the lookout for their email in the next day or two!

I wish I could dislike this response
Please add ability to disable this feature in Intercom UI.
Personally I think this feature is redundant since every Android keyboard have voice-to-text abilities, but if you introduced it, please allow users to disable it. Right now we are able to override permission in Manifest but microphone icon still exists in the Intercom dialog UI.
Thank you
I would also like this issue fixed.
