* This Action grants access to send the Logged in User [Trigger notifications](/actions/notifications/trigger-push-notifications.md) or [Push Notifications](/integrations/the-adalo-api/push-notifications.md).
* This Action must be added to part of the User flow ***after*** the User **is logged in**.
  * By default this is added as a Home Screen Action.
* Separate setup required for both Apple and Android through your developer account.
  * Android devices running OS 12 and older have notification permissions set by default so no screen message will pop up and prompt for permission.&#x20;
  * iOS requires this is a prompt and the user accepts. If the user denies access, the prompt will not show up again and access must be granted manually.

Additionally they did not have access to other things that PhotoKit provides such as information about the user’s albums.There is text in the Photos permissions explaining to users why they may have seen photos within the context of an app without any permission prompts. Currently that text looks like:*\
