> Though I don't get why some things get a yes/no, and for others it tells you to look it up in the security settings yourself, if you want to enable it

I think the former is the system dialog that comes up when the app officially requests the capability, while the latter is an app dialog—which they pop up instead of officially requesting the capability because if you say "no", that setting is saved, and the app can't officially ask again.

This way, they get to bug you every single time until you say "yes".

Hmm, it is designed exactly the same in all applications independent from manufacturer, so I somehow doubt it.

I have seen applications that also say it in their own UI, but Apple does display a specific dialog telling you that it was blocked, and if you want to enable it, you need to go to the settings and do so.

And it is even document on official Apple pages, so I doubt this is application code: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/La...
