iOS 15 features revealed, will it finally add split-screen apps? This time Android is ahead

In the latest exposed iOS 15, we can see that the icon design is more realistic, and it also supports placing plug-ins in any interface and any position. The notification management function module has also been updated, and customized settings in the control center and lock screen interface, such as the notification display method in different states such as work, sleep, and driving, are more personalized. These changes are optimized based on the original characteristics of iOS.

In addition, iOS 15 will also add an "Always-On mode" that supports the display of time, weather, temperature, reminders, etc. when the screen is off. The corresponding Android function is the "off-screen display function", which has been available in Android 8.0. The split-screen function that Apple fans have been "calling for" will also appear in iOS 15 this time, which is indeed a tribute to Android. There are also global horizontal screen mode, privacy menu, etc.

Through the above introduction, we can actually see that iOS 15 has a lot of Android "shadows", among which the screen-off display function, our domestic systems ColorOS and MIUI have made it even more "fantastic".

Taking OPPO's ColorOS as an example, the ColorOS 11.2 system equipped with OPPO Find X3, the "ideal work of the past decade", has a built-in "infinite screen off" function. It not only has a large number of screen off styles, but also can be customized to increase its playability. For example, users can create hand-drawn works under the screen off display function. Similar to a kaleidoscope, irregular lines can be turned into symmetrical and beautiful patterns. Colors can also be customized. Users can also create dial clocks and digital clocks by hand. OPPO provides all the personalized expressions that users want.

Of course, in an excellent system, functions such as split screen and screen-off display are "basic operations". If you want users to enjoy a more convenient experience or a sense of freshness, manufacturers need to add new functions and think about innovative interactions. In this regard, OPPO is still one of the representatives. The ColorOS 11.2 system equipped with OPPO Find X3 has a new "flash window" in addition to the regular application split screen. This function allows most applications to be displayed in small windows or mini windows in a floating mode, breaking through the "membrane" between applications in a more convenient way. For example, when a WeChat message pops up while we are watching a video, we only need to click the floating window to reply, and the Douyin playback will not be interrupted.

In terms of privacy, our domestic systems also attach great importance to it. For example, the privacy function of ColorOS 11.2 has a "privacy substitute" function. When an application secretly reads personal information in the background or obtains location information without permission, OPPO Find X3 will give the application a blank message. In fact, OPPO is not the only one who does this. Xiaomi's MIUI also has a "hidden mask" with a similar function to the "privacy substitute". They are all for protecting user privacy. Many manufacturers are also gradually following up on this type of privacy protection function, which is a good trend for both users and the industry.

It is not difficult to see from the above information that the concept of "camp" in mobile phone systems is gradually disappearing. Whether it is iOS or Android, as long as it is beneficial to users and can make the user experience better and more convenient, it is worth learning from each other. The new iOS 15 adds a lot of new features, and the ultimate goal is to give users a better experience. OPPO, which has the same original intention as Apple, also knows how to make personalized "additions" to the functions in this ColorOS 11.2, which is also worth learning.

In short, no matter whether it is the so-called "reference" or "tribute", what consumers want to see is that their demands can be heard by manufacturers. Obviously, iOS 15 has done this. Therefore, I hope that both Android and iOS can make unlimited progress, based on the perspective of user use of the phone, and continue to bring users a more perfect experience.
