Switching from iOS to Android is Not Easy!

Switching from the iPhone to using an Android phone like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 or Galaxy Z Flip 4 requires a bit of work. I'm used to it since I live in both worlds so here's how I go back and forth!

Most of these issues related to messaging/face time could be resolved if people in the US and Canada used WhatsApp. No more green bubble war.

I switched from iphone to Android last week, and it feels so refreshing. The only smart phone I ever had was iphone. I barely use any of the apple slackware that comes by default. I never use any of the apple rental services either. The switch to Android was just too easy.

I dont switch. I have an iPhone and Samsung. I use apps that are on both platforms like WhatsApp, AOL, Outlook, Google apps, etc. I take advantage of the benefits of each operating systems. I dont do FaceTime or Google Duo. I guest video chat isn't my thing. I take the time to optimize my usage on both iOS and Android. Most people won't take the time to learn one operating system, let alone two. But I consider myself a budget techy. Ten years ago I was Android all the way. Mainly because it was cheaper to buy an android device. But in the last few year iOS has adopted Android features and vise versa. The days of originality is fading. I'm not interested in being stuck in one ecosystem.

The Huawei thing is so misleading, stuff like that is why Apple users always think their OS is superior. YES, you can listen to music without your phone on most Android smart watches like those from Samsung. NO, you don't need some old-school method via PC. Jeez. I think the one thing that Apple really nails is marketing, they properly communicate what their ecosystem is capable of. If you look at the Samsung ecosystem, combining with Google (Android) and Microsoft (Windows), this ecosystem is growing a lot. The new Nearby Share is the perfect Airdrop equivalent between Android and Windows, but few people even now about it. It also has QuickShare, for even better sharing between Samsung devices, but again, I have it on my phone, but never really knew what it does until I researched it. And then many inferior Android services make it seem like things aren't as easy on Android which really isn't the case when you focus on the good things.

This was not bashful or immaturely hurtful at all. You legitimately have the most intelligent reason for choosing one of the other when it comes to Android or Apple in a tech video.

I switched from Apple to Android! Its the best move I have ever done! Its a pain to switch and Apple certainly don't make it easy to do that. I had to run 2 phones in parallel till I finally switched everything across. But hey Apple its a scam, really. The freedom you get from Android is unreal, and not to forget who private they can be to something you just cannot control with Apple.Good bye Apple after 20yr...

I've always used Android. I have the S20 FE currently. Last month I bought a refurbished iPhone 13. My sim is now in the iPhone, but I still enjoy the galaxy. I think I will continue using both phones.

Bro why is this randomly in the bocchi memes playlist? I watched the entire thing and nothing related to Bocchi the Rock never came up ):

After watching the tiktok 1:24 I can’t take this guy seriously lol

Biggest pain points for me when switching is iMessage (my inner circle is also predominantly iOS) and family reminders with built in apps. My partner won’t use 3rd party and having reminders that come up on both our phones just doesn’t work

I tried the opposite direction, latest one week on iOS before running back to Android 😂 I really tried but two things made me give up eventually. One were the missing or inconsistent swipe navigations - seriously, this is such a mess on iOS, sometimes you can swipe right to go back, sometimes it's a swipe down, sometimes you just cannot swipe at all and you have to press a back button located as far away as physically possible from your right thumb. The other reason was the keyboard. It just sucks. There is all this wasted screen real estate and you do not even get a dedicated number row. Android ist just so much easier and smoother to use, especially on larger devices.

Well with how Apple is forcing users to adapt to eSim, this process is even more annoying to do.

Great video… some other things I’d recommend.

Replace “Reminders” with “Todoist”
Replace “Apple Notes” with “OneNote”
For file storage, instead of “iCloud Drive” use “Google Drive”

All three of these work perfectly on both iOS and Android

[welfiblablabla]

If you use Galaxy Buds, those automatically change devices between different Sammys too (Phone, tablet and Galaxy watch if yiu had one)

[Marngel]

I don’t plan to switch from iPhone to Android anytime soon, mainly because there’s no phone as small as the 13 mini in the market and it has worked well enough for me to continue using the phone happily. But it’s good to know it’s possible to switch away from iOS if I need to do it some day.

[ninjanerdstudent]

I don't get it. Switching is easy. Just take your sim card out of iphone and put it in Android. What's the big deal?

[kursed_aegis]

Also wanna say this I don’t think actually switching is the hard part it’s more about the amount of crap your gunna get from your friends and family that have iOS as to why your texts don’t come in whatever specific color apple has lol

[iliveforthemoment]

what about switching over your contacts and notes ?? those were the important things i’m nervous about

[DonnKnee]

Apple's goal is to make it hard to switch. I escape this and I make the switch back and forth easy by avoiding Apple software altogether. What's even better is that Google apps on iOS are sometimes better than they are on Android. Other than iCloud, iMessage is the only Apple software I use on my iPhone. I don't even use the Apple keyboard or Siri. I active Siri so that I can activate Google now on my iPhone. I enjoy the iPhone for what it is! It's a great phone! I am just not going to sip Apples cool aid.

This felt out of context. Feels more like ‘adapting Android to IOS Environment.’
