My major complaint with iOS is multitasking. Apps don’t run in the background, which is terrible for apps like OneDrive that need to run backups. You have to leave the app open to run an upload.
Also, Android has split screen, which is pretty useful. For these reasons alone, iOS feels outdated.
Other things I hate are all the hidden UI elements. You have to do a Google search to find out how to do things. For example, to close all Safari tabs, you have to press and hold a button. There’s tons of stuff like this. Searching for a word on a Safari webpage is incredibly fickle and still hard to get to. Text editing and the keyboard are awkward and frustrating as well. In general, I find a huge amount of hidden friction on iOS that I don’t find on Android.
- hansel_der 5y ago> Apps don’t run in the background afaik there's a setting for that (feature not a bug :)
- bmitc 5y agoThere is, and it’s turned on. Still doesn’t work unless I leave OneDrive open. “Just works.”
- drcongo 5y agoThat's the OneDrive app failing you I'm afraid, plenty of apps do this without issue.
- bmitc 5y agoDoesn’t have the issue on Android, and doesn’t negate iOS having poor multitasking. This happens a lot for other apps too. Also, Android has picture-in-picture for many apps.
- drcongo 5y agoSo does iOS.
- muthuraj57 5y agoI don't agree with this. I use Google Photos to upload all my pictures and videos and it also gets killed when in background. Apple's iMovie app literally asks you to not put the app into background when rendering the video. This shows that apps in background will get killed mercilessly. Some Apple fans might argue this is better for battery, but it feels so primitive for me in 2021 to use a "smartphone" only to use one app at a time. Try sending media in whatsapp or post a media in Instagram/Facebook in low network condition and putting the app in background. It is literally impossible to do this in iPhone.
