I'm still waiting for iOS to steal Android's notification system which has been vastly superior forever. People who've only ever used iOS think I'm crazy when I say this, because iOS notifications are so useless they can't imagine what a useful version would be like.
- setr 6y agoI'm on android, and I really have no idea what you're talking about -- they're both fairly useless. What apps do anything notable with notifications beyond reply-inline function? Which iphone's have had at least since last year, when I dropped off it Though I'm on samsung so they might have customized useful features right out (they do have the neat notification bubble thing + non-fullscreen apps, but it doesn't seem to be fully developed -- lots of small bugs -- so I'm assuming that's non-standard android).

- panopticon 6y agoYeah, I just switched back to iOS last year after being on Android for ~5 years. The notification coalescing and types of actions you can take right from the notification blow iOS out of the water.
- grishka 6y agoI'm a loyal Android user since smartphones became a thing. I do own an iPhone because I had to write some cross-platform code on one of my jobs, but I can't fathom using iOS in part because of how laughably useless the notification system is. It could as well not have any, it won't make a difference. Notifications disappear when you unlock, badges on icons are always there with some arbitrary numbers on them, notification center shows something from last year but not the notification you received a minute ago, and the best part: some "notifications" are modal alerts that pop up right in your face when you least expect. And they have the audacity to call this the world's most advanced mobile OS.
