Hi! I understand you want to disable audio recording in the Perk app on your Android device. Just to clarify, are you referring specifically to stopping the app from capturing any audio (like voice or other sounds), or are you looking to disable certain audio recording buttons or features within the app? Any additional details about what exactly happens when audio recording is "not wanted" would help me guide you better.

In the meantime, since you're on Android 12 using a WebKit browser, here’s a general approach that usually helps with disabling or controlling audio recording permissions:

1. Check App Permissions:
- Go to your device Settings.
- Navigate to Apps & notifications > find and select the Perk app.
- Tap Permissions.
- Look for Microphone permission and toggle it Off to prevent the app from accessing audio recording.

2. App Settings:
- Open the Perk app.
- Look for any settings or preferences related to audio or recording and disable those options if present.

3. Browser Permissions (if using web-based Perk):
- Since you’re using WebKit browser, check the browser’s site settings.
- Go to browser Settings > Site settings > Microphone.
- Disable microphone access for the Perk app website.

If you’ve tried any of these steps already, please let me know what you’ve done, and I can help you with a deeper dive or alternative solutions.

Are you satisfied with this initial guidance, or should we explore further?

Thanks for confirming you want to disable audio recording specifically in the Perk app on your Android device.

Since the Perk app doesn’t have a universal “disable audio recording” toggle built into the app itself, the best way to prevent it from recording audio is to revoke or disable its access to your microphone permission. Here’s a step-by-step guide for your Android 12 device:

1. Open your device Settings.
2. Scroll to Apps & notifications, then tap See all apps or directly search for the Perk app.
3. Tap on Perk to open app details.
4. Tap Permissions.
5. Find Microphone in the list of permissions.
6. Tap it, and then select Deny or Don’t allow to remove microphone access for the app.

This will prevent Perk from accessing your microphone and thus stop any audio recording functionality.

If you’re accessing Perk through a browser (since you mentioned WebKit), also:

- Go to the browser’s SettingsSite settingsMicrophone → and block the microphone permission for the Perk website.

If the app still allows audio recording despite revoked permissions (which is rare), let me know, and I can guide you on advanced settings or checking for app updates or reinstalling the app.

Are you satisfied with this solution, or would you like me to assist you further with any step?
