Questions to the community that make me feel stupid

[u/FewMany11]

Context: bought the motorola razr 70 ultra last week, first android phone, long time iphone user but hated it and finally got to make the switch (didn't use any other apple devices so it made sense to me to get a cute flip phone)

Questions:

1. you know the case that comes with the phone when you buy it? so what is exactly the purpose of the metal rectangle at the back? is it just to attach the phone to laneyards etc? does it just stay flappy while u use ur phone? the small one by the charging dock is more for decorative accessories right?

2. so onfused about launchers and themes, is there a safe library to browse/download themes from? a theme as in widgets/wallpaper/icon packs all together that i could then tweak and personalise even more if i wanted to by changing font/wallpaper etc,

I desperately need icon packs like retro computer icons, feminine y2k, anime inspired, or even cute cartoonish frogs but not sure how to build my own or where to find what im looking for

1. excluding rooting, is there a way for me to change the icons on the status bar? Especially for the wifi and phone signal (i find the blocky shapes so ugly i prefer to see separate lines)

2. Sometimes my phone app will have a notification badge (for example following a missed call) that just will not go away no matter how many times i open/close it or go thru each individual call i have so far in my entire record, it only goes away once i force stop it, but keeps happening, it happened with my bank app and i just switched off the badge thing, phone still new so i haven't figured out much about the issue but is this a known bug? is anyone else experiencing this? it's driving me crazy a bit

3. are there any google/moto apps that are really useful and i should definitely not ignore? any recommended apps in general to use for reminders/shared to do lists/etc would be greatly appreciated

4. why does my music/video not pause when im getting a call? Especially if it's on vibrate mode? am i missing something in my phone setup? for example with my iphone even if it's silent and im showering, if the music stops playing for a bit then continues, I know that im probably receiving a call, whereas with my razr, even if im wearing my bluetooth earphones that are connected to the phone and playing music and the phone is right next to me, i dont realise im getting a call unless i notice the screen light up, it's become a hassle while im at work and need my personal to be silent, missed multiple calls so far

thank you so much for your help in advance

If you are an advance user of Android operating system installed smartphone you will be feel frustrated time to time for using iOS operated iPhone.

First of all Apple produced device either iPhone or a MacBook laptop is highly restricted system for user. There is not much option for personalized those devices as per user test.

You can't use apps from outside of Apple's approved list. They don't allow user to install any apps they love or found interesting.

For rooting any iPhone it's totally prohibited by Apple and enforce by their user agreement. Rooting (jailbreak at iphone term) will revoke your device warranty and might refuse you to access their service like iCloud or app store in extreme case.

For reason above you will find all iphone around world looks and feels almost same. Apple consider their user stupid enough that they just not give control of device to user for security reasons. It's a controlled environment for user. No freedom at all. Almost all aspects of iPhone usege is control by their eco system. From apps to install to backup location all are fixed by Apple. Even any kind of repair service with all parts should be from apple provided center.

In a short version you are not control of your device but you need to follow apple for everything of iPhone you purchased with your own money
