    I have an iPhone, but I’d probably prefer an Android just because you can install things from outside the App Store.

      After disabling a million warnings, being constantly reminded you should not do it, and i wont be surprised if future versions will require rooting for doing so.

      I have always been an android user, but honewtly, if libre android OSes didnt exist, i would have been an iphone user already.

        With all my due respect, iOS is even worse. They don’t provide access to the file system of their phones/tablets, still refuse to open iMessage to rival OSes, they don’t even release their apps for other operating systems.

        You can’t for example backup WhatsApp on Android and restore your backup on iOS.

        They don’t support Bluetooth file transfer and they are/were requiring to develop their apps on macOS. Not to forget all those lawsuits they filed against Samsung and other Android manufacturers at the beginning of the smartphone revolution.

            Reminders? Like the “this app can’t install unknown apps” notice for installation? Because those only happen for if you execute through a browser or app other than the file explorer for the first time.
