7 new Android features that Apple should borrow – Computerworld.nl

Google last week announced new features for Android and Apple users do not know yet. We hope that this lends Apple iOS as Android for instance has a FaceTime with the app Duo. Here are a few (new) Android features which we hope Apple they take over.

1. Instant Apps. Sometimes you come out on websites like you to install their app, and you will be channeled directly to the app store, after you install the app and switch to the app. This is cumbersome and disruptive. Google has something new that users can try some apps directly into the cloud without being installed on the device.

2. Customizable quick settings. Fast Android Settings are like the Control Panel within iOS. But unlike the screen on the iPhone to Android users determine the settings appear herein, for example, they often use shortcuts to prioritize.

3. Multiple windows. Yes, iOS 9 Splitview was introduced, but only for the iPad Pro and iPad Air 2. Android N supports multiple windows for all smartphones and tablets, which means you have two apps you have open side by side stand. You can even drag and copy between two windows.

4. All apps A subtle change, but one that saves a lot of time if you’re working with multiple apps:. Android N is added an option in the multitasking window to clear the list at once

5. VR mode. Virtual reality is finally here and there are plenty of VR apps in the Apple App Store to compel States to pay more attention to optimizing it. Google does so with a VR mode on Android. This example changes how Android sensor data reads and how pixels appear to reduce latency in pictures.

6. Mobile networks in wearables. In Android Wear 2.0, you can build native apps to tether a phone is no longer required to establish a mobile network connection. That means a smartwatch with mobile connectivity can stream music directly from Spotify and can synchronize with the fitness app, without having to lug along a phone when you go running. Apple would be the same plan for the next generation of Apple Watch.

7. Handwriting on Android Wear. In addition to react via a virtual keyboard, you can from Android Wear 2.0 also respond by writing. The screen of the Apple Watch may well be too small for this feature to really compose messages, but we do see a future for such a feature to translate swift reports of one word to the text message.
