5 iOS 14 applications that you can now use on your Android mobile

The new version of the operating system for Apple phones was announced approximately 12 hours ago. iOS 14 arrives, as expected, with a large battery of new features that, from now on, all iPhones that are compatible with it will be able to enjoy. Of course, looking closely at the news, the owners of an Android phone could raise their eyebrows to the limit. And it is that many of these novelties are, indeed, for iPhone... but on Android they have been making an appearance for some time now.

In this special we are going to tell you about five novelties of iOS 14 that we already enjoyed on our Android phones. In some cases, even in very early versions of the green robot. And it seems that there is unanimity among the specialized press: iOS 14 wants to look like Android. And this is the strongest proof:

Widgets

The Picture in Picture function makes it easy for the user to follow the content of a video or any other application while using a second one Imagine that you are watching a YouTube video and a concept that you do not know appears: instead of closing the YouTube app and entering the browser and looking for said concept, said video will be minimized and superimposed on Google Chrome, for example, to be able to continue doing both things at the same time; a route on Google Maps: we can follow the navigation in a superimposed window and, in full size, browse the internet or watch a video; or, as we can see in the screenshot, continue with a video call while we check the calendar.This feature is now available on iOS14 and made an appearance on Android in 2017.

A 'Maps' very similar to 'Google Maps'

In the iOS maps application we will now have marking bike routes, something we already enjoyed on Android. In addition, Apple Maps brings 'Look Around' as a novelty, which is the augmented reality navigation that we recently picked up on Google Maps.

App Drawer

If the two operating systems were distinguished by something, it was precisely the application drawer. In Android we placed the apps that we wanted on the desktop, and the rest stayed in the drawer.On iOS, however, we saw all the apps out of the box right out of the box. Now in iOS 14 this changes and the app drawer appears. On iPhone it will be called ‘App Library‘. Apps will be sorted by category, recently added and most used.

Translator

The equivalent of the already known by all 'Google Translate' makes an appearance, for the first time, in iOS 14. You can download the language in which you translate your phrases the most to be able to use the translator offline way. iPhone user will be able to ask Siri to translate a phrase and automatically detect the language. It also has a conversation mode, as we already have in Android.
