When you install an application on an iOS device, some functionality may be restricted by the operating system. In order to access these resources, applications ask for specific permissions. For each permission, a brief description is included to explain what it can be used for.
To install an app, you must acknowledge that you're aware of what the software is capable of by giving iOS your permission. For example, when you visit a website that requires a specific function, such as taking or uploading a picture or finding your location, iOS will ask you for permission before it performs that function.
