Walmart app for iOS: Confusing Microphone Permission prompt

iOS 13.3.1
Walmart app for iOS (version 20.6)
Date: 02/19/2020

Description:

Here's an odd one! I almost always disallow microphone access when an app asks for it. I always take a glance at the error message that is displayed to the user. Sometimes, an app will display an informative message.

Only once have I seen a grammatical mistake. Here's what the current version of the Walmart app displays:

"Microphone permission are required to search." - slightly confusing. Should be amended to "Microphone Permission is required to search."

Or, better yet, a more complete error message might be helpful.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Walmart app for iOS
2. Decline microphone access
3. Click on microphone icon in search box

Result: The denied microphone permission error warning for the current version of the iOS app is slightly confusing - displays as "Microphone Permission are required to search."

Expected: A less confusing permission error message
