One change that would make a big improvement would be adopting Android\u2019s one location for notifications.<\/p>\n<p>iOS puts notifications in the Notification Center and a separate spot on the lock screen for \u201cRecent Notifications.\u201d This is unnecessary and creates confusion and missed notifications.

The \u201cNotification History\u201d page is a page that shows all the notifications that arrived on your device over the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s nice to know there\u2019s somewhere you can look if a notification is accidentally dismissed.

It\u2019s an easy way to personalize your phone without tweaking much. iOS is even better prepared for a feature like this.<\/p>\n<p>iOS doesn\u2019t have the personalization options that Android has. No home screen launchers or custom icon shapes.

As of iOS 16, the Control Center settings are all made by Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Android allows third-party apps to make their own Quick Settings toggles.
