Relevant details that might make this a headache.
On iOS, I feel like doing things take a few extra taps and swipes than they would on Android.
But on the whole apps made for iOS feel higher quality. Even Google’s own apps are better on iOS. I feel like the problem is that Apple forces developers to adopt changes quickly, whereas Google lets apps use years old API versions.
I’ve swapped from iOS to Android and I very much have the opposite experience.
Everything in Android feels just a little bit like someone somewhere went ‘well we have to put this option SOMEWHERE’ and just shoved it in, which leads to me fiddling in apps and system settings a lot more than I was on iOS.
I’m happy to chalk it up to much more experience in iOS than modern Android, but it’s been kinda a pervasive experience.
And, also related and annoying: googling ‘how do I change a thing’ routinely makes me nuts because how you do something seems to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and even like, model to model.
I guess it’s just… maybe iOS needs more button presses, but Android is utterly inconsistent as to where something might be which means you spend a little more time digging for a specific thing than you might on iOS which leads to the impression that you’re hitting a lot more buttons to do something, even if maybe the actual number of presses would be lower if you knew exactly how to do it.
