I think this gets lost inside most android comparisons, but I find the lack of an intents system and more importantly, a global back button completely jarring on ios, the most common example would be, from clicking a link in email, to opening that page in the browser, then pressing back to go right back to my email. the same operation on my ipad means clicking a link, going back, being confused closing my browser, opening email and finding the email again
- X-Istence 15y agoDouble click the home button, select previous app, you are back to where you were.
- grkhetan 15y agoThe back button on Android is a double-edged sword (based on what I have read/heard), because its function is overridden by apps in inconsistent ways, so you are never sure what effect that button press may have. Am I correct? (i am an iOS user, so don't know)
- CountSessine 15y agoI love Android's back button, but yes, I think you're right about the overriding problem. The browser, for example, arguably shouldn't be using it to go back to a previous page.
