The iPhone and Android smartphones have more in common than ever before, but from a certain perspective, they still differ in features. If the Android operating system had these features from iOS, it would become more perfect than ever. Below are 3 interesting features that the Android operating system should 'copy' from iOS to enhance its capabilities.

1. Do not disturb modes

The Do not disturb modes on iPhone are very useful in specific situations. Unlike Android, iOS allows users to create different do not disturb modes for different scenarios. Moreover, in these modes, users can decide which apps can send notifications and which should not disturb them. On the other hand, the Android operating system only allows creating a single do not disturb mode called “Focus mode”.

2. Face ID

Face ID is not a brand-new feature; it was introduced in 2017 with the iPhone X, and Android has also developed face scanning features, but they are not as sophisticated as Face ID. Despite some shortcomings and negative rumors about Face ID, its high security level is undeniable. In-display fingerprint scanners are still very good for mobile payments, but adding Face ID would make Android smartphones much more perfect.

If you're intrigued by the innovation and security Face ID offers, you might want to check out the latest iPhone 15 (available on Amazon).

3. Shake to undo

Typing on a smartphone keyboard, whether it's an iPhone or an Android smartphone, is not a great experience. Due to the small size of the keyboards, we sometimes mistype, and the iPhone has a way to address this issue - 'shake to undo.' As the name suggests, after typing something, you just need to shake your phone, and a notification will pop up asking if you want to 'undo typing.' It is as simple as that.
