I've used both Android and iOS, and I like them both for different things. I've always found my way back to iOS though.

You can do that in Android, and ... moreCustom roms are troublesome to install and can introduce other kinds of problems, it's good for those whose life purpose is to play with their phone system. Ordinary people will have to suffer ADroid unless they move to iOS. Here is SE Asia even Android flagship are popping up ads, meanwhile the entry level ones have become a nuisance to use.

                Google should first work on a better android with less tracking and hundreds of hidden/useless settings meant to benefit the company, and not the user. Till then, i see no reason as of why would an apple enviroment user think of even trying to use android.

                      Plus, IOS have way too many restrictions and apps are too costly. You can get most apps ad-free by paying just a decent price for Android apps.

                                  Now In India, most of the Android smartphone makers making it as AD's garbage. We are getting all unnecessary apps with phone and not allowing us to delete. If this trend not going to end, most of the Android users will switch to IOS. Instead of this app, google need to solve this issue.
