Swipe left for widgets stuck out to me as an Android origin. They were first with widgets, and they introduced the swipe-left-from-homescreen UX.

- MBCook 10y agoYou already swipe for widgets in iOS, it's just a different direction. I'm not sure that's exactly a copy. But there is a ton of stuff in iOS 10 that's 'copied': iMessages looks like WeChat/SnapChat/some other stuff had a baby A lot of the photos features seem right out of Google Photos 3rd party apps have done the Mac unlock thing before Android has had the ability to add plugins for some apps for quite a while, no? Or at least things like keyboards weren't sandboxed the same so they could do similar things to what iOS is now getting. That's progress. Someone makes a cool feature, if it works out well other companies start integrating it. Google has 'stolen' from Apple, Apple has 'stolen' from Google. Everyone borrowed stuff from Palm. In the end, we all get better phones.
