These Android features are so great that iOS had to steal them

Companies innovate...

but they also emulate. That’s the way of the world and one of the driving forces behind the tech industry. When talking about operating systems lifting features from their competitors, the names Android and iOS come up a lot.

Here’s a list of some of the best features that iOS copied from Android . Let’s face facts: neither operating system will be where it is without lifting features from the other, and that’s quite alright. Companies take ideas from others and add their own twist to them.

This is something that helps the tech industry grow and allows more people to enjoy features. Maybe Apple will come up with a feature, and Google will find a better way to implement it, and vice versa. Without emulation, there would literally be no smartphone market.

There would be iPhones, Blackberries, and the deluge of “dumbphones” that populated the market in the early 2000s. So, we need emulation. No feature should belong to one ecosystem.

Tech is tech. Now, with all the sensible and civil talk out of the way, let’s be Android fanboys and talk about what features iOS copied from Android! Features iOS copied from Android We’re all used to accusing Apple of bringing basic Android features 5 – 10 years after they were made. We can’t deny that some of the features it launches bear a resemblance to features that we were using on the Samsung Galaxy Rush or Nexus 5 back in the day.

Well, Apple is one of the few companies that have the money and brand.
