Google makes iOS versions of its popular apps, and often updates them before the Android version. Some of these apps are considered better than their Android counterparts. So if you like the build, interface, and consistent upgrades of the iPhone's operating system, combine that with Google's top-notch apps for the ultimate experience.
Set up your own Google iPhone
You probably use Google services, but if you don’t, these are the apps you might want to download. They’re all available in the App Store on your iPhone.
One advantage Android has over iOS is that you can set default apps for various services, including music, web browsing, messaging, and more. You can bypass Apple's restrictions in most cases.
For example, when you click on a URL in an app, it would automatically open in Safari, but Google’s apps (and many other third-party developers) have found a way around this. You go into each app’s settings and change the options for opening files, links, and other content from Apple’s apps to other Google apps. This way, if a friend emails you a link and you click on it in the Gmail app, it will open in Chrome, or a file attachment will open in Google Docs. You now have your own Google ecosystem within iOS.
