Even
hardcore lovers of Android and its latest version lollipop, would tell you that
Android isn’t perfect. There are areas where the iOS is frankly, better. This,
despite Android’s smart sharing features and deep Google integration.
In this article, we look at some of the areas that Google should improve upon, taking a cue from Apple.
1. Top-of-the screen touch
One of the most irritating things when you browse WebPages has to endlessly swipe through to reach the top. Well, iOS users would never have had this problem, for you just have to touch the top of the screen and you’ll be right there. It’s indeed puzzling as to why Google hasn’t enabled this considering this is a facility fairly easy to implement.
2. Quick reply
Some third-party texting apps create a popup window for users to respond to a message without diving back into the app. Users would feel great if Android could have this type of quick reply natively. Especially since it makes two messaging apps: Hangouts and Messenger.
On an iPhone it’s much faster to reply to someone this way. It helps users save some time when they’re interrupted with a text and want to respond quickly and get back to what they were doing.
3. Steal Airdrop
When iPhone users want to send/transfer files among Apple devices, they need look no beyond Airdrop. To be fair to Google, it already has this facility in Google drive. All it needs to do is to connect this to Drive given that there’s desktop software for both OS X and Windows.
4. ‘Control Center’
Though some of the features of Android’s original notification shade such as toggle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are already available in Apple, it would do Android no harm if it were to take a cue from Control center.
5. Please display the Battery percentage
This is something even those who swear by Android won’t pardon it for. That Google still hasn’t chosen to do anything about it seem quite inexplicable considering Android Lollipop had everything from lock screen to eliminating widgets implemented meticulously.
