Here are some Android features I took for granted that I still miss when I use my iPhone.
You canuse split-screen View on Androidto view two apps simultaneously.
For instance, I can watch YouTube at the top while chatting with friends on WhatsApp from the bottom.

On iPhone, however, there’s no such thing.
I have to manually switch between apps if I want to do more than one thing at a time.
I hope Apple brings a similar feature to iPhones in the near future.

Every account has a separate user space with separate apps and acts like a different phone.
While I don’t share devices, this can also be useful for those that do.
It can also be handy for maintaining your privacy when you take your machine for repair.

Unfortunately, one of the reasonsiPhones have better security than Androidis the tight controls Apple has put in place.
Trying to sideload apps from third-party stores on an iPhone is tough.
For instance, unless you live in the EU, you need a Mac tosideload apps on your iPhone.
That isn’t a hurdle since Android provides an accessible setting to enable sideloading.
4Full Customization and Personalization
Unlike Android, iOS has very limited customization and personalization options.
Customization and personalization options on Android are nearly endless.
On the Home Screen alone, I can revamp the layout totally by simply switching to a different launcher.
I can also change the grid, customize the size of app icons, and more.
Connecting an Android phone to a Windows computer via USB allows you to access everything on the gadget.
you could browse your phone’s internal storage like any external storage gadget.
This enables faster file transfer than using wireless transfer methods.
I can’t view my iPhone’s internal storage if I connect it to my Mac via USB.
Instead, I can only sync files between the two, which is very limiting.
The iPhone has an all-in-one sound control setting, making it hard to manage the volume.
But to enjoy this separation, I need to toggle offChange with ButtonsatSettings > Sounds & Haptics.
Switching from Android to iPhone means making some sacrifices.
