Is there a function that will tell if the user has allow notifications from the app settings on the phone? Is it ```
areEnabled() => Promise
checkPermissions() => Promise<PermissionStatus>
Both Local and Push notifications use the same logic.
How “are enable” relate to it?
Not sure what you mean. checkPermissions checks whether or not the user has allowed notifications.
A correction, the push notification docs says the following:
If you need to check if the user allows to display notifications, use local-notifications plugin.
So you would want to use the method from the Local Notification plugin - Local Notifications Capacitor Plugin API | Capacitor Documentation
Android introduced the notifications permission on Android 13.
areEnabled returns if the notifications are enabled or not.
checkPermissions returns on Android < 13 if the notifications are enabled or not, and on Android 13 and newer if the user allowed the permission or not.
Should I check for both areEnabled and checkPermissions or would areEnabled be enough?
areEnabled is deprecated, checkPermissions should be enough.
on v6 I don’t see it deprecated. You have a source where it is? Local Notifications Capacitor Plugin API | Capacitor Documentation
Might be a bug on how the docs get generated from the types, but the types show it as deprecated
Thank you. We are using Check Permissions. This forum has been very helpful.
