This feature is a blessing if privacy is a priority. You can share your smartphone with friends, family, or children with this feature without being concerned about prying eyes. Version 5.0 of Android smartphones saw the introduction of this capability; however, iOS has not yet received it.

Each user is equipped with their own ID, password, apps, and data. In addition, you can use the multiple-user option to customise your phone calls and SMS settings. Only when a user logs in as a guest user can they access the default apps. So, if you want to allow youngsters to use your smartphone with certain restrictions, this function is the best option for you.

##Home Screen Customisations

Android smartphones are unquestionably the best in terms of home screen customization. On an Android smartphone, you may install custom launchers, widgets, icon packs, and more.

None of these requires you to root your smartphone. Even on the Google Play Store, you can easily find pre-installed Themes apps and third-party icon sets. Users can apply system-wide themes or alter the fonts and icon packs in one convenient location. In comparison to Android smartphones, iOS has very few options for customising the home screen. The only things you can do with the newest iPhones are changing the wallpaper, install widgets, and make and customise different lock screens.

Split Screen Mode

iPhones do not have access to this productivity feature, only Android smartphones have. This function will be quite useful for you if you use your smartphone for work. You may run two programmes simultaneously with this capability.

The fact that you can even change how much screen space each programme will occupy is the nicest part of this feature. Even while watching any video, you can make notes about significant material or copy information from one app to another.

Cloned Apps

On an Android smartphone, you can duplicate programmes and use different accounts for each of those copies. For instance, you could create a copy of the original WhatsApp app and use a different account on the copy if you wanted to use two WhatsApp accounts on your smartphone.

If your Android smartphone doesn't come with a clone app already installed, you may even download one from the Google Play Store. This feature is not available in iOS.

Files Transfers via Bluetooth

It is among the most beneficial features that iOS is missing. Of course, we don't use this feature very much these days. However, Android still has this option, which is quite helpful. On iOS devices, sending files requires using AirDrop, which is only compatible with iOS devices.

iOS does not have the ability to share files through Bluetooth, so you cannot send files from iOS to Android devices. When it comes to sharing files, using a hybrid ecosystem will be quite difficult for you.

A new iOS bug is causing iPhones to crash when a specific sequence of four characters (""::) is typed into certain search fields, like the Settings app or App Library. The bug triggers Apple's Springboard to crash, briefly returning users to the lock screen. While it’s an annoying issue, it poses no security risk or data loss. Tests show that the bug affects iOS 17 more severely than iOS 18. Apple has not yet addressed the issue, so users are advised to avoid typing this sequence until a fix is released.
