Features You Didn’t Know About . Android and iOS have stolen each other

There are a lot of similarities between Android and iOS, and that similarity increased with the release of iOS 14, as people started talking about Apple getting some ideas from Android.

Perhaps there is some truth to the matter, especially since the famous founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, knew from his statement that he was not averse to stealing a great idea or two!

Some similar features have appeared, both on the iPad before the iPhone, and in the Android versions of Samsung and LG, as explained by the site “Popular Science”.

To get a better idea of ​​this “suspicious” convergence of characteristics, we present some examples below:

Gestural navigation

In 2017, iPhone X got rid of the Home button and introduced a whole new way to navigate apps like swipe up to go back to Home, swipe up and hold to see recent apps, etc.

And the team Google seems to like the new navigation, because Android has adopted a series of similar gestures for Android 9 and Android 10.

do not disturb

Do Not Disturb mode is a staple of modern phones, giving you some respite from the flood of notifications that normally shake your phone non-stop.

This was a feature that Apple first added to iOS 6 in 2012. Google took its time and added it to its operating system in 2014 with the launch of Android 5.0 Lollipop.

In 2011, when Apple released iOS 5, the first version of its operating system that can be updated over Wi-Fi without having to connect the phone to a computer and sync with iTunes.

Also, it was a pretty cool feat at the time, as Wi-Fi wasn’t as fast as it is now. But it wasn’t great in how much android users have already updated their devices the same way for several years.
