5 reasons Android 11 is much better than iOS 14

 

Android or ios is better than an endless battle, there are many arguments and opinions being made to prove this phone operating system better than the other. However, in this article, we will only mention the two latest versions of these two operating systems, Android 11 and iOS 14 . And objectively, this time Google did better than Apple.

1. Better display notifications

One of the features most loved by Android users is the way it manages notifications. Notifications on iOS have not been groundbreaking in recent versions. On Android 11, however, Google has a pretty far lead.

Android 11 divides notifications into three, sorted by priority from Conversations , Notifications, and Silent . The Notifications and Silent sections have existed since Android 10, this time adding Conversations will help you easily keep track of incoming messages in the notification tray without being mixed with other messages. The notifications listed in the Conversations section will be pushed to the notification tray, showing both the photo and sender information (along with the app icon in which the message appears).

This is only a small change but it is optimized for work and saves a lot of time for users.

The notification management part of iOS 14 is still the same as all previous versions, still ranked in chronological order that makes it difficult for users to follow.

2. Chat bubbles make it easier to organize the conversation

Another big feature added to Android 11 is chat bubbles. When there is a notification in Conversations, you will see an icon in the notification that expands to a floating bubble on the home screen, which is the chat bubble.

Click on a chat bubble to show a summary of the conversation, allowing you to view old messages, new messages, ... Click again to zoom back to the bubble icon. You can move this icon anywhere on the screen.

Chat bubbles are supported in a lot of messaging apps, including Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Google Messages, ... You can use many different chat apps in one chat bubble, making it easy to follow. keep track of your conversations without having to switch between apps.

Chat bubbles at first seem a bit "gimmicky", but for those who regularly have to text on multiple platforms, this is a very good feature to arrange everything in the correct order when having to receive a ton of messages every day. .

 

3. Access is tighter

Tighter user privacy has always been a welcome one, one of the ways to strengthen access control on a phone. Allowing full access when installing an app is so easy, most apps practically don't need to access everything they ask you for.

Again and again, iOS 14 has a very good access control system. You can see the permissions in Settings, you can toggle any access directly on and off from here.

Google is focusing heavily on access on Android 11 with some important updates. First, Android is now like iOS, having a function that allows you to only grant access once. Android goes even further, with one-time camera or microphone access as well.

Another feature found only on Android 11 is automatic permissions reset. If you allow access for an app that you don't use often, the access is removed automatically. The next time you use the app, you'll have to allow access again.

4. Controlling smart home is easy

If you have a lot of smart home devices in your home, controlling them through multiple types of applications will be extremely difficult.

Both Google and Apple have done a great job of incorporating it all into one app like Google Home and Apple Home, but Android 11 did a little better by incorporating most frequently used controls into one menu. .

No matter what you're doing on your phone, holding down the power button brings up the control menu. You can still use the regular controls, but Android will leave it to you to add your favorite controls.

5. More adjustable on Android

Without a doubt, the bright spot on iOS 14 is the expansion of adjustments to the App Library, Widgets. However, Android has been doing these for a long time now, and until Android 11, the ability continues to expand its tuning features.

Easy adjustment

Although now iOS 14 has allowed users to change the default web browser and email, but not other applications. Android allows users to change any default apps they want.

From previous Android generations, you can change the app icon in the app menu or outside the home screen very easily. iOS 14 does not allow you to use any other app menu than the default. Android does not "ban" too many external apps like iOS, allowing you to change the full screen in the blink of an eye.
