Android Oreo Vs iOS 11: What are Similarities And Differences
Notification Panel
Google has gone with an iOS styled notification scheme for the latest version of Android. There will be a little dot in the top-right corner of the app’s icon to show a notification. This has been the style in iOS since the first iPhone and 3rd-party android launchers (such as Nova Launcher) have been featuring the scheme for a long time as well.
Google has added another feature in which the users long press on an icon with the notification badge that reveals a menu that allows the user to do different tasks, much like Apple’s 3D touch feature.
Emojis
Android Oreo and iOS 11 are getting fully revamped emojis. Google has ditched the blob-like emojis for the new, round emojis. Google’s new emojis copy Apple’s choice to increase the detail present on the emojis. On the other hand, iOS 11 will get the taste of emojis even more detailed than Android Oreo’s.

A tweet by Apple’s CEO shows off emojis with a very high level of detail. Apple has not revealed when the new emojis are arriving, but we can expect them to be present in iOS 11 and MacOS High Sierra.
Screen Recorder
iOS 11 will come with an inbuilt screen recorder, a feature much laked on all generations of iOS. As you already know, it will let you record your iPhone’s screen without dealing with jailbreaking or installing non-trusted apps. In Android, it’s a whole different story with you having to install third party screen recorders without any inbuilt feature.
Autofill API
Google has introduced a new Autofill API feature, so you don’t have to worry about remembering your secure passwords. Android O will have native support for password managers and after choosing a default password manager, you can simply log into your accounts without remembering your passwords. Apple will not include such a feature in iOS 11 as it does not trust 3rd-party apps because of security reasons.
Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
Apple introduced a feature called Picture-in-picture with iOS 9, however it was exclusive to the iPad. iPhones are yet to get this feature. On the other hand, Google is including this feature to its smartphones with Android O. With the new feature, you can minimize a video and make it float off the screen for improved multitasking.

Smart Text Selection
Copy and paste functions have been present in Android since the first version and have made iOS implement this feature. It’s a very important function, but the mostly small size of phone screens make copy pasting a troublesome process.
The feature is called ‘Smart Text Selection’. When a user highlights an address, a link to Google Maps will be displayed alongside the functions of Copy, cut and paste. If a phone number is highlighted, the phone app will be shown.
Digital Assistants
With iOS 11, Apple is giving Siri the feature to translate words and phrases to many common languages. It will also sound more human-like. Google assistant does have an edge over Siri, as it has a wide set of capability with better translations.
