Interactive differences between iOS and Android

I usually use iOS devices, and I'm not used to playing Android tester every time. For some small factories, due to limited resources, Android and my design draft generally share a design draft. Although the designs of ios and Android are more and more similar now, there are still some differences, otherwise, in the process of development, not knowing the differences between them will make a lot of jokes. Here is just a brief description of some differences in interaction between iOS and Android, just as an introduction.

1. Location of the title

Andriod's navigation bar title is generally on the left, and iOS's navigation bar title is generally displayed in the middle. This is only a small difference. Some big manufacturers should make provisions to display the title of the navigation bar in the center.

2. Gesture operation differences

For a single item, Android is a long press "Delete" and other operations, and iOS is a left slide to delete or other operations. This kind of interaction is a common way. If you don't follow this design difference, users will be uncomfortable to use.

3. Search box differences

Andriod search box usually has the word "search" behind it and a "back" arrow on the left; There is generally no search button behind the iOS search box. His search button is usually on the keyboard, and there is a "Cancel" button behind the search box. Why are you doing this? In fact, it is also determined by the systems of iOS and Android. Although there is an "arrow" sign on the keyboard of Android for searching, because the sign is not obvious enough, a "search" button should be added behind the search box. At the same time, because there is a "search" button on the iOS keyboard, you don't have to do this. Of course, there are also some big manufacturers whose search boxes are the same, and the more they prefer iOS.

4. Message notification

The push of Andriod message notification only needs to be switched in this application, and it does not involve system-level switching; IOS needs to control system switching at the system level. IOS message push needs to be set in IOS settings-notification -XX application.

5. Address selector

For address selection, iOS generally uses the wheel control of system interaction, but some Android APP also use this interaction, which is wrong. For Android interaction, list selection is generally adopted instead of wheel design.

6. Summary

The above interaction differences are common differences. Of course, the interaction between Android and iOS is becoming more and more unified. At least for now, differences still exist. This requires us to distinguish these differences in the design process and make a reasonable and flexible design.
