JAKARTA - For a long time, iOS and Android have been fierce competitors in the world of smart devices. But what if iPhone users could also experience using Google's Android devices?

Google realized that they couldn't force everyone to use their devices. That is why Google also takes a lot of effort with developing apps for iOS users.

Although companies can't make them use Android, at least Google can make iOS users use their services, as quoted from Ubergizmo, Wednesday, September 29.

In their post on Google's official blog, they detail the apps available for iOS as well as how to turn an iPhone into a Google phone through the use of strategically placed widgets on the homepage. They can also download the application from the App Store.

That capability was present in iOS 14, where Apple finally allowed users to place widgets on their home screens. Later, the widget view will also include web browsing, monitoring user journeys, reviewing the latest sports, and listening to favorite playlists along with the Google app, Google Maps, Google Fit, and YouTube Music widgets. Users can also embed Google Calendar, Gmail, and Google Drive in widgets, and other applications needed to support daily activities.

If you prefer to keep your home screen clean of apps, you can try Smart Stacks, it will help you organize your home screen better and prepare your favorite Google apps. Smart Stacks allows users to stack widgets of the same size in one folder.

For the record, one of the advantages of having Android on iOS is that you can set default apps for a variety of services, including music, web browsing, messaging, and more. Users can get around Apple's limitations in most cases.

For example, when a user clicks on a URL in an app, it automatically opens in Safari, but Google apps (and many other third-party developers) have found a way around this.

Developers like Google have long been creating widgets for iOS apps that make it easy for users to access on the home screen itself. So now, you can get both in one phone at the same time. Great Apple interface coupled with Google's best apps. Turn your iPhone into a Google phone.
