10 Must-Have iOS Features That Android Doesn't Offer

iOS vs Android is a battle that has been raging for years. If you are an iPhone user, you may already know that there are certain features and functionalities that iOS offers, which aren't available on Android. In this article, we will be looking at the top ten iOS features that Android users can only dream of.

1. Airdrop

One of the best features on iOS is Airdrop. This allows you to share files between Apple devices in seconds, without the need for any cables or software. Unfortunately, Android doesn't have a similar function, and users have to rely on third-party apps to transfer files.

2. Universal Clipboard

With Universal Clipboard, you can copy text or images from one Apple device and paste them onto another. This feature isn't available on Android as each device is treated as a separate entity, with no shared clipboard.

3. Siri

Siri is Apple's virtual assistant, which can help with a range of tasks such as setting reminders, making calls, and sending messages. Although Android offers similar AI systems like Google Assistant, Siri is often smoother and more polished.

4. Find My iPhone

Find My iPhone is an indispensable feature of Apple devices. It allows you to locate your lost or stolen iPhone by logging into iCloud.com or using the Find My app. Android offers a similar feature called 'Find my Device,' but it isn't as comprehensive as Apple's version.

5. iCloud

iCloud is the central hub for all your Apple devices, allowing you to access your files, photos and even messages across all your devices. Although Android has Google Drive and other cloud storage options, none of them offer the same seamless experience as iCloud.

6. FaceTime

FaceTime is Apple's video and audio calling app, which is only available on Apple devices. Although there are many video-calling apps available on Android, including WhatsApp and Google Duo, none of them can quite match the integration and functionality of FaceTime.

7. iMessage

iMessage is Apple's messaging app, which allows you to send messages, photos, videos, voice messages and even animated emojis. Although there are many messaging apps available on Android, none of them quite match the polish and features of iMessage.

8. Live Photos

Live Photos is a feature that allows you to capture a short video alongside a photo on your iPhone. When you press on the image, it comes to life for a few seconds. Android doesn't have a similar feature, although there are some third-party apps that can mimic Live Photos.

9. Widgets

Widgets are a powerful feature of iOS, allowing you to see information from apps and sites without having to open them. Widgets are available on Android, but they don't integrate as smoothly into the system as they do on iOS.

10. Control Center

Control Center is an easy-to-use toolbar that appears when you swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone screen. It allows you to turn on or off key features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and airplane mode in one place. Android has a similar feature, but it isn't as streamlined as Apple's Control Center.
