Both systems, that is Android a iOS, have their advantages and disadvantages. But it's certain that Google's OS phone software is more versatile and customizable than the company's solution Apple. Below you will find 5 tips and tricks for Android, which iPhone and his iOS he can't yet and maybe never will. Although at least the first point already Apple successfully implemented at least in his iPadOS.
View multiple apps on one screen
One of the features added to the system Android 7.0 Nougat, which came out back in 2016, is the ability to run apps side by side or on top of each other. This view is useful when you want to multitask without having to constantly open and close applications.
To activate it, tap the multitasking button at the bottom left and select which of the recently used apps you want to show. By device and version Androidu just hold and drag it to the desired page, or click on its icon and select Open in split screen view. After that, just select the next application that you want to open next to the first mentioned. The bar in the middle allows you to change the size of application windows.
Sound and ringtone options
Your device provides several options for adjusting the volume. These are ringtones, media, notifications and system sounds. Their detailed determination can be found in Settings -> Sounds and vibrations -> Volume. System Android however, it gives you a quick and easy shortcut to access the sounds.
Tap the physical volume buttons on the side of the device to mute or increase what's playing (if no audio or video is playing, this action will adjust the ringtone volume). When you do this, a small window will appear on the screen, on the side of which you can see a small arrow. When you click on it, the window will expand and display several volume selection options at once. You don't need to go to Settings at all.
Pinning windows
If there is a situation where you need to lend your device to a friend or your kids, but you don't want them to use the device outside of that app, you can pin it. The function of pinning the application does not allow you to leave it in the usual way (this can be done by a combination of buttons or by entering a code of your choice). You can easily give a friend a web browser and a child YouTube Kids without worrying about your privacy informace.
You turn on the function Settings -> Biometrics and security -> Additional security settings -> Pin windows. In the Recent menu, just tap on the application icon and select Pin the app. Without a code, you can unlock the app by pressing the Last and Back buttons at the same time.
Editing the status bar
The status bar is a thin strip at the top of the display that shows notifications, the phone's current signal strength, and battery life, among other things. It is in the information about the announcement that it differs from the others iOS. If you go to the quick menu and select the three dots symbol, you will find an option Status bar. When you click on it, you can define here what you want it to show you. You can also turn on the percentage of battery charge here.
Smart lock
To keep your device and the data stored on it safe, you need to set a PIN code, scan your fingerprint or your face to authorize access. The smart lock feature eliminates this need to activate your device when you're in the safety of your home or other familiar location. IN Settings tap Security or Biometrics & Security to turn on the feature Smart lock. In addition to turning off the lock screen when you're at home, you can also turn off the authorization requirement when the phone is connected via Bluetooth to a trusted device, such as a car stereo.
The "pin windows" function is in ios available for several years. I use it freely. In the setting as an assisted approach. Start the app 3x rlacitko and lock the app. Can't turn off without code. The code can be selected independently of the security code. Plus other settings.
I would also add:
– AOD!, thanks to which you can immediately see if you have missed a call, sms, email, etc., etc.
– the possibility of distributing the icons as I want, e.g. just one icon in the middle of the desktop
– functional widgets that I can customize as I want
– the possibility of connecting a keyboard and a mouse and a stylus, when today mobile phones are the size of tablets….
– the possibility of expansion with an SD card, at today's price and speeds you can hardly tell it from an internal one
– reverse charging
You could certainly still find a lot of things that iOS, Hence iPhone unfortunately he doesn't.
As if the other way around, there are a few things that iPhone has and on Androidu would use it.

I don't miss a single thing - to be content is to be happy….
"the possibility of expansion with an SD card, at today's price and speeds you can hardly tell it from an internal one"
Don't be mad, but you know the speed of hell. SD cards are slow as hell (and no, don't mean serial write/read, mean random access), not to mention reliability.
