As the world of mobile devices is flooded with new applications on mobile devices, user demand for more innovative features is increasing. All mobile operators need to introduce the WOW factor into their operating systems to capture the market's attention.
In this constant race to attract target audiences with convenience and innovation, Google and Apple often draw inspiration from each other's ideas and features. They have proven time and time again that they pick the best features from each other and bring them to their devices. Remember when Tim Cook said he trusted Google Search? This mutual inspiration is something that is still practiced in 2019.
While we've heard a lot about the features that Apple copied from Google's Android, today we wanted to take a look at the other side of the coin. This means that the features Google cloned from Apple's iOS in 2019 and earlier. Features that have traditionally played an important role in determining the cost of Android mobile app development.
Android Features that Have Been Inspired from Apple

9. Performance Improvements
Like Apple, Google has also started neglecting legacy hardware support to curtail the efforts of Android app developers to make their apps available on all devices. In this way, the tech giant has found a solution to the challenge of platform fragmentation, while ensuring that performance is not compromised.
Bonus: Ecosystem
Google recently adopted the concept of linking all its services to encourage users to use its services, thereby directly or indirectly increasing its profits.
These are some of the core features of Apple's iOS that came before they were implemented in the Android market, making the two platforms somewhat similar.
