Android and iOS: features only on Android

The battles over which mobile platform is better, Android or iOS, are gradually becoming less and less. In

including because Android is veryhas improved over the past few years. Now both platforms have functions that cover all aspects of the smartphone owner's activities. But the platform of the Internet giant Google still found a couple of features that Apple products do not yet have.

Not a competitor - an alternative

As such, competition between these OSs is alreadyalmost came to naught, they are already almost identical with the exception of some features, even the chips are constantly "divided" among themselves. The same dark theme first pleased iOS users, then safely migrated to the owners of Android devices. Voice search, as well as a convenient notification curtain, on the contrary, migrated from Android to iOS. Most of the features are distributed.

But there are a number of functions that only Android can boast so far. Below we will talk about three of them.

Multitasking

Some users are used to working withwith several windows, and without this function, which is available on Android, they cannot imagine the operation of a smartphone. Windows in this mode are divided into two parts, one on the top part, the other on the bottom. You can watch the video, and then hang on a social network or messenger. Or view photos while typing a note.

To switch to Android in multitasking,you need to activate the list of closed, but not unloaded applications. Next, select the window for the top and tap on the special icon (either a double strip or a lock). Then we select the second application and just touch it, it will go to the bottom of the display.

Now a similar feature has appeared onthe tablet OS version of the iPad OS, but Apple’s smartphones still haven’t received this feature. At the same time, for multitasking, processor performance, RAM and screen size have long been sufficient. Most likely, in new versions of iOS multitasking is sure to appear. And then it will be possible once again to Android-fans to sarcastically mumble - Apple finally caught up with Android. And even more sarcastic - the iPhone has overtaken the capabilities of smartphones from Xiaomi, Huawei, as well as other Chinese manufacturers.

Professional photo opportunities

Preinstalled application in Android “Camera”There is a special mode called Pro. It allows you to adjust the shooting settings manually by setting the exposure or white balance and more. Regardless of the quality of the matrices or optics, Android still has more options.

In this professional mode on a smartphoneall improvers and other electronic assistants are disabled. Even autofocus, color temperature adjustment, and so on, stop working. In general, the user is given complete freedom, and he can set each parameter as he needs.

Of course, Apple fans can say that thisThe mode was made initially only because Android smartphones on the machine shoot very poorly. And they will be wrong, because now you can easily see the results of independent shooting quality tests of most popular smartphone models on both platforms. And iPhone, unfortunately, does not lead unconditionally in these ratings.

Customization

If iPhone users have the opportunitychange only the wallpaper and the position of some icons, then the owners of Android smartphones have much more if they are tired of the usual screen design. Such a number of launchers for every taste and color, no other platform has. These are alternative themes, home screens, a variety of icon sets, the design of which is fundamentally different from the default.

A new topic can be downloaded from the main catalogGoogle, and after installation, the user must confirm whether he needs a new look at startup or whether he will choose it when he wants. In general, in terms of personalizing Android in front, iOS has no such capabilities yet.
