Assuming that users who installed the app already understood the need to provide their location data. This allowed them to axe out the long-winded welcome flow and make the permissions request the second screen. The text was changed to say that users needed to “Enable Location Permissions”

Just so wrong.

Yup - I wonder if the article misrepresented the actual change because it seems a bit odd?

This article has a lot of good points but some are really debatable. Not long ago, Hopper (app for flight price monitoring) published their experience in re-doing their onboarding [0]. Some take aways from that go against what this one says.

Ultimately you have to see what works for you and what doesn't. Copy & paste (just like the Social links paragraph funnily) will never just work without some thought.
