CheckMag | 4 Android features iPhone users are missing out on

Apple's iMessage offers a seamless experience, but the situation changes when iPhone users text non-iMessage (Android) users, reverting to the outdated SMS standard. This results in lower-quality media sharing, evident in the poor resolution of photos and videos received from Android devices.

Adopting RCS (Rich Communication Services) would enhance the overall messaging experience on iPhones, ensuring better compatibility with Android devices, while still maintaining the functionality of iMessage for Apple-to-Apple communication. This change could significantly improve cross-platform messaging quality.

Android offers a 'Flip to silence calls' feature, allowing users to mute calls and notifications simply by placing their phone face down.

This intuitive and user-friendly function, not currently available on iPhones, adds an element of convenience in managing incoming calls. Implementing a similar feature on iPhones could enhance the user experience by providing a straightforward and effective way to silence calls.

Android's "Notification history" feature, which logs notifications from the past 24 hours, offers a practical solution for tracking missed notifications. This is particularly useful when a notification is accidentally dismissed.

Considering the often cluttered nature of iPhone notifications, implementing a similar feature could significantly enhance the user experience for iPhone owners, providing a streamlined way to review past notifications.

While Apple has introduced various multitasking features to the iPad, the iPhone still lacks comparable capabilities, such as split-screen mode - a feature Android phones have offered for years.

With the larger screen sizes of modern iPhones, implementing split-screen mode is feasible and could be particularly beneficial for users seeking enhanced productivity. This addition would cater to those who may not frequently use split-screen but would appreciate the option for multitasking purposes.

For those looking to experience the latest in Apple's innovation, the iPhone 15 is available now on Amazon.
