The right way to ask users for iOS permissions
Facebook Messenger does it every time you go to the App, it's very annoying. It definitely makes me use it less. I don't think Apps should be aware if they have had permissions denied, functions should just quietly return nothing/false data.

Google Location Services does it every time you turn on GPS on a Kitkat android phone, if you've turned their location services permission off.
