Bug description
Description maybe big i guess so before ignoring or closing this issue please consider this i was facing this bug from initial 5.××××-jw version.I attached files regarding this bug below for better understanding
App asking for storage permission many times even after i have enabled & my chat backup recovery key gone after enabling storage permission again.
Before I restoring by .backup file after installing app it asked for permission i enabled (1st time) and then I made sure chat backup setting working or not by taking backup again and it worked. Later I went to chat screen it asked for cam,mic i enabled that was no issues at all but the it asked the storage permission again (2nd time) (1 already gave permission before restoring backup during initial setup). Later I went back to check chat backup settings my recovery key backup gone because of the storage permission i gave in the chat. And chat backup tells me to create new backup file with new recovery keys. This is every annoying coz if I want to restore i have to change my recovery keys everytime please solve this. This storage permission issue not only with the option in chat backup in settings it also happens same with the Import/settings (export & restore encrypted or unencrypted backups) to make sure I tried 3 times it has the same issue also I tried on other devices it has same issues & tried with custom roms in my device i faced the same stuff mentioned above.
Unlike other fork like molly or stock official signal haven't this issue. Please kindly consider it sorry for the long lengthy explaination.
Actual result: Storage permission asking for 3 times even after i gave permission also it erased the backup recovery keys and asks to create new one after i gave storage permission again.
Expected result: I shouldn't be asking permission again & again also it shouldn't erased my backup recovery keys. I should ask permission one time or only before the restoring in initial setup
