iOS 16 copied Android?These Features are Exactly the Same...

With the change of version, iOS has become more and more gorgeous, both in terms of functionality and interface, compared with the former iOS seems to have changed as much as a century.Apple has been adding features to iOS, some inspired by jailbreak plug-ins, some by user voices, and some by Android.

I believe there are many users who have already discovered that there are many new features on iOS 16 that look familiar.

Car Crash Detection

The iPhone 14 series & iOS 16 exclusive car crash detection feature has actually been available in Android for a long time. Android's car crash detection, which launches in 2019 with the Pixel 4, can alert you to call emergency services after a car crash.

After a car accident, your Pixel phone vibrates and plays an alert to see if you're okay. You can tap "I'm OK" or "Emergency" (or voice "Emergency"). If you don't respond within 60 seconds, it automatically contacts emergency services.

Almost the same as Apple's, right?

Smart Lock Screen

The biggest change in iOS 16 is the lock screen interface. The clock font can be changed, and it can also automatically distinguish the depth of field of the photo to achieve the interaction between the background and the clock, without blocking each other, which is quite good.

You can also add widgets to add weather, battery, fitness and other information to the lock screen interface for more visibility.

But these features have long been implemented by Google and are even better.

In Android, Material You actually goes a step further by allowing you to customize not only the clock font, but also the app icons based on the system color theme.

Automatic Photo Sharing

The new family shared photo album in iOS 16 has actually been implemented by Android for a long time.

Google Albums has had a similar feature for at least 2 years. Not only can you share albums with your friends, but you can also automatically add photos of specific people or pets to your albums. When collaboration is enabled, friends can also add photos to the album.

What's more, Google Albums can be used on various devices such as computers, Android phones and iPhone.

Voice keyboard hybrid input

The new voice keyboard hybrid input in iOS 16 really improves the input speed and works very well.

But this feature is not original either... ...Google Assistant voice input has been available on Android for a long time, and iOS 16 has the exact same feature with a higher recognition rate.

Map multi-path point planning

Another new feature in iOS 16. Multiple route stops can be planned in advance in the navigation path. Unfortunately this feature appeared earlier on Google Maps, the only difference is: iOS 16 supports up to 15 stops, Google Maps only supports 10.

Focus Mode

In iOS 16, you can customize different focus modes, such as sleep, drive, personal, and work, determining which apps can be used in each mode and which people are allowed to call.

Android, on the other hand, offers only one focus mode, and only selected apps can run. Brands like OnePlus also have a "Zen mode" where you can't use any apps until the time is up, so you can focus more on what's going on and not be distracted by phone messages.

iOS and Android used to be two very different operating systems, but over time, the similarities between the two systems have grown, and I wonder what hand you're using to read this article right now?
