The longstanding battle between Android and iOS may never end, but Android takes the win with one feature that iOS just can't match.
Our phones, as you know, can sometimes become depthless abysses. Almost everyone has experienced the inconquerable pull of spending hours switching from one social media or entertainment app futilely. And this routine even has a name — “doomscrolling.”
Both mobile operating systems have their identical approaches to help you limit the time spent consuming apps. Android lets you monitor the time spent per app daily and set the maximum daily allowance. Android has a very clear advantage To elaborate on why I say this, let me walk you through the different scenarios when you are about to run out of your daily allocated durations on iOS and Android.
In that one extra minute, the following video will have taken your attention. You could either abandon it in between or choose to add 15 minutes to the daily allowance. Fifteen minutes later, the iPhone will politely remind you to step away from the app once again. That’s it! You don’t get the option to ignore the limit or extend the timer. The only way to use the app again is by going to Digital Wellbeing under Settings and changing your daily timer. This added friction is a much bigger deterrent than the reminder screen on iOS, which gives easy access to the snooze buttons.
