`status === PermissionAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED` would be checking text against an object.

Nobody has claimed this yet.

from what I have seen, status in this case would return

```
{
"android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS": "granted",
"android.permission.READ_SMS": "denied"
}
```

so `status === PermissionAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED` would be checking text against an object.

this can be rewritten as:

```
const status = await PermissionsAndroid.requestMultiple([
PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.RECEIVE_SMS,
PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_SMS,
]);

const granted = PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED;
const denied = PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.DENIED;
const neverAskAgain = PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.NEVER_ASK_AGAIN;

if (status[PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.RECEIVE_SMS] === granted &&
status[PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_SMS] === granted) {
return true;
}

if ([status[PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.RECEIVE_SMS], status[PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_SMS]].includes(denied)) {
console.log("Read/Receive SMS permission denied by user.", status);
} else if ([status[PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.RECEIVE_SMS], status[PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_SMS]].includes(neverAskAgain)) {
console.log("Read/Receive SMS permission revoked by user.", status);
}
```

Start from the permission-handling code discussed in the issue and inspect the requestMultiple result against the listed RECEIVE_SMS and READ_SMS permissions. Done means the code checks both returned permission values individually and distinguishes granted, denied, and never-ask-again; no file or test is named in the issue.
