Things I Can Do On Android 12, I'm Not Sure iOS can Do It. by Nobody: 5:19pm On Sep 03, 2022
1) I can respond to any message from any app right from the notification panel, without having to open the app itself. Can you do this on iOS?

2)I can enable focus mode, that allows me to "shut up" all the distracting apps on my phone, this prevents me from being able to open the app, and prevents the app from showing its notifications. Can you do this on iOS?

3)I can minimize an app on the screen. This mean I can be on another app while another app is minimised on the same screen, basically operating two apps at the same time. Can iOS do this?

4)I can enable dark mode and reading mode, which helps to protect my eyes from blue light at night and reduces the strain on my eyes at night, so I don't have any worries viewing my phone at night. Can iOS do this?

5)I can snooze any notification for a given time. As in if I don't want to see a particular notification from an app for some period of time, I can do it. Can iOS do this?

6)My android 12 phone can automatically scan a picture I send on WhatsApp and if a mobile number is in the picture shared, it will let me know if that number is on WhatsApp and if I want to message the number on whatsapp. Very amazing shocked Can iOS do this?

7)I can stream channels from cable TV(like DStv and co) right on my phone, using an app. Although it consumes a lot of data and needs a very steady internet connection to work smoothly. Can this be done on iOS?

coolI can activate SOS(Emergency) on my phone if I'm in trouble. I will just press the power button 5 times and a message and my live location will be sent to the phone number/s of trusted people that I have set.

9)I can do almost anything on my phone, all I need is the app created for such purpose. Can iOS allow installation of apps outside it's app store?

By the way I'm using a redmi note 11 on Android 12.

You can add more things you can do on your Android that you don't think it's possible on iOS.

OP, IOS can do all these as well. Thank you. You could argue the split screen feature because not even a lot of iPhone users know about it since apple is tight-lipped about it. But it’s buried deep in settings.

Not buried. Its simply not there. IPhone is thrash. Even camera wise, an iphone flagship aint better than a flagship from oneplus, Google pixel , samsung, huawei and lots more

Even though iPhone can easily do most of the things the OP highlighted, but I personally cannot use only an iPhone, I've always had a good Samsung with any iPhone I've bought.

Android gives much more flexibility and ease of operating than IOS. The other day, just to transfer file from office database to my iPhone frustrated my life that I almost cried.

It could have done it with much more wahala but who get time for wahala. Android to the rescue abeg. No time

The worst with Iphone is that if you use your Safari browser and got to a site like Tooxclusive and you try to dll a song from a popular artist, it would download but only be sandboxed to your safari browser, it would never appear on your /music folder. That is the main reason i hate that shit called Iphone.

iOS can literally do everything on this list except split screen and I’m most sure about the scanning on WhatsApp thing but you can literally copy texts from images even on nairaland and it can diffferentiate numbers from alphabets,with iOS 16 you can even copy texts from videos

Focus mode?,there’s literally a dedicated function named that on iOS
Who says you can’t stream on iOS
SOS emergency existed since the time of Symbian phones

I can’t even keep on going,I can clearly see you have no idea about what you’re taking about

That is one of the reasons why I love iTel. My phone is always in "do not disturb". Not notification directing my life. Love this feature.

Broke Ass, why download the song when you can Listen and play it anytime on spotify or AudioMax, u can even download it sef...

I've always loved android phone, never saw a need for an iPhone until, i knew it was something I needed to own for necessity sake...

Android fade's out in month's, it takes years for an iphone to fade out not to talk about the resale value..

Android i got for 110k in January can be sold for 70k with Abeg Oo u cant say the same for an iphone...

Take for instance iphone 6s still sales for 70k

MIUI is the best I know. Best among androids too that's why you are so fascinated with your redmi note 11. Always keep your phone updated to enjoy it even more.
