Extensions:

User has disabled file sharing from App settings:

If the user has disabled file sharing from the app settings, the options 'File' and 'From Vault' will still be active, but a message will be displayed asking the user to enable file sharing from settings. However, the user will still be able to preview and receive shared photos in the group chat.

Decline File Permission for the First Time:

If the user taps the 'Don't allow' option from the OS prompt dialog, an app dialog will be displayed with the title "External Storage Permission" and the body "You need external storage permission to use this functionality." The user can choose to 'DENY' or 'ALLOW' the permission.
