­although iOS 11 provides many excellent features, such as object drag and drop, it still lacks six features that have become standard with Android.

­Tencent Digital (Wen Xin) according to the PCWorld website, its author, Ben Patterson, is actually the head of the wall. After switching to Android a year ago, new features in iOS 11 prompted him to consider returning to the iOS camp.

­iOS 11 introduces attractive new features, such as an upgraded App Store App Store, a customizable control center, drag-and-drop capabilities for iPad users, and features like single-hand input and convenient P2P money transfers that emulate other platforms.

But returning to iOS means losing many of the Android features Patterson increasingly likes, such as the ability to build multiple user profiles and one-click search for information. Here are six excellent Android features that iOS 11 has not yet provided.

­multiple user Profil

­given the many innovations that iOS 11 brings to iPad, such as dragging and dropping objects between different applications and the new app Dock, users may think that Apple has abandoned a feature that has become standard with Android: user profiles are ideal for family members of families with only one iPad to create their own iPad space.

­for any reason (is it for privacy reasons? ), once again, Apple did not add a user profile to iPhone or iPad. This means that if users share an iPad with their children, you will share all iPad data, including emails, open browser tabs, Facebook apps, and so on.

­multiple do not disturb schedul

Patterson really loves the "automatic rules" of Android's do not Disturb mode. With automatic rules, users can set multiple do not Disturb schedules for working nights, weekends, meetings, and other scenarios. For example, he sets do not Disturb mode to turn off early on weekday mornings (6 a.m.), while on weekends, DND mode is delayed until about 8 a.m.

­in iOS 11, do not Disturb mode still allows users to set only one schedule, which means that users can't be quiet for a while on weekends and will be harassed by all kinds of messages during meetings.

­PCWorld said that of course, the new do not Disturb while driving feature (as long as iPhone senses that the user is driving, it will automatically let all notifications "silent") is a good innovation, but it is too bad that iOS 11 does not keep pace with Android in terms of do not disturb.

­search the entire screen

­similar to previous versions of iOS, iOS 11 allows users to quickly complete a search for selected text through its general search function Spotlight. This is useful if you want to do a deep search for a small amount of text content, but sometimes users want to search everything on the device screen.

­this is the opportunity to display the talents of Android's "Screen Search" function. Click the "What" s on my screen button in Google Assistant and Android will scan the entire screen and return any relevant search results. This feature is handy if users want to get a quick look-up list of news articles or Web pages. Unfortunately, similar features are not available in iOS, not even iOS 11.

­clear all application windows

The "Clear All" button on the Overview screen of ­Android immediately closes all the open application windows of the user, and when the user clicks the "Overview" button again, the system will display the message "No applications recently opened". For cleanliness addicts like Patterson, it's really cool to click the "Clear All" button.

­in iOS 11, there is no easy way for users to close multiple application windows on the multitasking screen, and users need to close the application windows one by one.

­Patterson determined that iOS has excellent underlying tools to manage the resources consumed by applications and automatically suspend applications that have not been running in the background for a long time.

­Delete all local photos and videos in the album application

­users may have heard of the new storage space savings features introduced by iOS 11, especially for photo album applications that take up a lot of storage space.

­for example, Apple announced support for a new image format, HEIF (efficient Image format), which can reduce the storage space occupied by photos by half.

Other features in ­iOS 11 to reduce storage footage: shortcuts to reduce storage space such as iCloud Photo Library (uploading all users' photos and videos to a cloud service, and then automatically reducing the number of photos stored by iPhone or iPad).

­PCWorld says these are all improvements worth using, but if you switch back to iOS, users will lose some better features: the "free storage" feature in the Android album app, which immediately deletes photos and videos stored on the device.

­on Patterson's 16GB version of Nexus 5X, photos do not take up enough storage space for 100MB, thanks to the "free storage" feature. On his iPhone 6, photo album apps take up ridiculous 17GB storage space, even when iCloud Photo Library is turned on (the "optimize iPhone storage space" option is turned on).

­additional hint: similar to the Android version, iOS Google albums also have a "free storage" feature, which means that users can upload photos to Google, clean up a large amount of storage space on iPhone or iPad, and then use the "free storage" option to delete local copies. It is important to keep in mind that if you use both Google albums and iCloud Photo Library, using the "free storage" feature of Google albums to erase locally stored images and videos will also delete photos in iCloud Photo Library, so users need to ensure that all local photo files are backed up safely first.

­symbol shortcuts on iPhone character keys

­like the Android Google input method, iOS 11 also introduces symbol shortcuts to the character keys of the iPad input method, allowing users to press fewer keys when they need to enter numbers, "@" or common symbols.

­this is a welcome change for users, but unfortunately, the so-called "QuickType" input method of iOS 11 appears only on iPad, not on iPhone. Users can say that this is because the keys in the iPhone input method are too small to display symbol shortcuts, but on Patterson's 5-inch Nexus 5X, the character shortcuts in Google input methods perform well.
