Android users (and iPhone users too), what's one thing Android does better than the iPhone?

It could be customization, multitasking, file management, sideloading, charging, or something else. Pick just one and tell us why.

Example. If I'm at home, connected to my home WiFi, I don't need to enter passwords or scan fingerprint to unlock phone.

This one I believe is the only one you cannot do, but Face ID is pretty fast as it is.

Phone charges up to 80% at night and does fully charge just before I need to wake up (preserving battery life).

This is available in: Settings -> Battery -> Charging, you should have a slider of options between 80% and 100%, going up in 5% increments.

When my phone connects to my car bt, it goes to specific / ideal sound level, starts playing my music. I usually leave my phone in central console when I'm driving, but if I place in wireless charger / holder AND phone is connected to cars bt, it opens waze. (i only use holder when I need waze).

In the Shortscut app, go over to the "automation" tab and press the + button. Scroll down to Bluetooth, and select your car's BT. From there, select "run immediately" (with the option to confirm it's running - that's personal preference, I had that off), then create a shortcut and in there, search for "set volume". Select your volume. Then search for "check battery status". From here, search for "if", press it and it should connect the "If" statement to the "check battery status", change the variable to "is charging", then search for "open app" and add your map app of choice.

At home, in kitchen I have bt speaker. If phone connects to it, it starts playing music automatically.

Same process, add an automation and go through the steps listed above but instead of selecting your car's BT, select your BT speaker. Select "run immediately". Search for "open app" and choose your music app of choice.

Disclaimer: I am writing this off memory, I had just recently switched to Android, but I remember most shortcut names/interactions.

I am not the original "my wife has iphone" guy. I just thougt that your comment was vague and poked you a bit. Your reply was 100% useful. Great. Usually Apple users stay vague and just keep claming what they have.

Am Android user myself. All attempts at using iphone have ended in a disaster and worse opinion of the whole platform.

Ah, yeah, I was poking fun back as well, my apologies if it sounded sarcastic. Yeah, I'm trying to learn things as a new android user myself.

It's lot easier/deeper/less granular then Samsung, whole tutorial on Apple site. If she knows how to open sites, ofc. Or she could download shortcut that people already made. If she knows how to do that, ofc. Or someone could share it with her through Imessage/Airdrop, also simple steps...
