My mother’s upgrading from a Huawei P9 to an iPhone she received as a gift (don’t know which model it is).

She doesn’t know how to use iOS and I’m finding it difficult to teach her, since I don’t know how it works either, so I was wondering if it was possible to install some version of Android on it.

Sorry if it’s the wrong community to post this in

    Other things that irritated me when I recently switched from android to iOS:

    The keyboard doesn’t have the numbers along the top. Didn’t realize how much I used digits when typing stuff out so switching back and forth is annoying.

    When typing long text messages I find it impossible to just click higher or scroll up to reread what I typed

    Speaking of messaging the fact I can only do emoji reactions with such a limited range is really amazing especially in 2023-2024

    The calculator doesn’t show you what you typed in….maybe I’m the idiot but I can’t figure it out

    No ability to do Picture in Picture especially with FaceTime, so everytime I leave the app to look at another window it always blacks the video out

    Printing things from my phone is so difficult now

    Apple Pay for some reason only works when I double click the side button before placing the phone near the reader rather than scan and then double click

    Speaking of wallet I can’t transfer in a local public transit commuter card from android….i need a physical card or number to scan. There is no option to manually enter that I can see

    The action button why can I only do 1 action and not multiple with a click and then a hold option?

    Speaking of action button I have mine set to silent bc if I keep clicking the volume down button it doesn’t automatically put the ringer on vibrate and then silent

    Which leads me to why in gods name can I not turn off send noises from any app? I don’t need to hear the swoosh sound every time.

    The Notification Center in general bothers me

    Also I really miss the back button and menu buttons on the bottom.

    I’m sure there’s more I forgot about but those are little things that have bugged me.

      You can download a free app called pass2u wallet and it will allow you to add any image to your Apple wallet. That might be able to help you with your transit card issue
