Yea unfortunately you’re probably going to have to check if your carrier has some kind of warning system you can use. Either by text or your carriers own app notification.

This was a big thing for me when I switched from android, apple seems to assume that if you have enough money to buy a phone, you’ll be rolling in enough dough to be on an unlimited plan. Thankfully with my provider that’s only $30/month but not everyone has that option or the extra $30 to spare. Apple doesn’t seem to care much about that though.

Before switching to my carriers unlimited plan - they would always send me a text when I hit 80% usage, I’d check if that’s a thing for you.

Also when checking your cellular data usage in Settings -> Cellular - Current Period does not refer to your month-month usage E: This varies by carrier and may actually reflect monthly usage. It reflects your usage since you last reset it by scrolling down to the bottom and selecting Reset Statistics. You have to do this manually if you’d like to keep track each month. Setting up a monthly reminder will help a lot there.

Also make sure while you’re in the cellular settings to turn off Wifi Assist if you’re struggling with data usage.

When in the evening as I didn’t put it on to charhe til 11 ish

So does it show when I first put it on to charge

They show when your phone was actually charging - it doesn’t charge all night to reduce damaging the battery.

It charged a bit in the evening to make sure it was available, then sat all night until it kicked in for the morning (the final larger green bar)

The bars underneath showed what sorry

No way, really? Even my work old windows phone has it. Ok I'll try to check for an alternative solution then, checking it manually is not what I want after spending what I spend on a modern phone.

Are there any automation apps that can help, maybe with IFTTT or so? I will check and update if I find something.

Limited. Very limited. Been one of my big issues even in the latest 16.3. I use both and find the Android system is overall more useful.

I like the reply someone else mentioned; on Android I get things done in Notifications where in iOS it seems to want to pull me into the app.

I found it very difficult to change having been on android since 2009.

The lack of a back gesture is the number one annoyance for me as there are times you are not really sure how to go back one page or UI element. Every app does it slightly differently and it impacts one handed usefulness and accessibility.

Secondly, the notifications are much better on Android as they are more logically grouped and easier to manage and see at a glance. It's more like a notification pile on iOS with badges to show what's come in.

Third, media storage and the player do not feel user friendly. It's hard to access files between a computer and iPhone and the photos app does not have some basic features like playback speed or auto loop.

However, iOS definitely wins in terms of ecosystem and app quality. Basic apps feel better optimized and smoother. It's different but you'll get used to doing things "the Apple way". I hope they finally upgrade some quality of life features in iOS 17 but I wouldn't have my hopes too far up.

There’s no way to do that I’m afraid. You can see current rough data usage and you can turn on “Low Data Mode” to use less data, but otherwise no way of stopping your data usage at specific points.

Your best alternative is probably to see if your network provider has the ability to send you notifications/texts when you’re running out or have run out, I’m afraid.

Personally I don't find it difficult to alternate between the two so long as you can accept they are two different operating systems so you may have to do things a little differently or a particular customisation feature may be missing.

For the general user 99% of the core functionality required is there with only major omission being an open file system, Android you can plug into most devices and access all your files, iOS is a little more locked down.

It might suck but that's the best possible place you could have damage show up

Think this is smart charging and the bars underneath show when it turned on, so first to make sure your phone didn’t die over night and then again before you woke up to make sure it was charged up in the morning

I love my Samsung notifications. I remember always loosing texts on my iPhone 11 (sometimes I just didn't get them at all! I think many are familiar with this bug).

While Apple is just focused on "cameras" and "more storage", most people need a phone to work as an actual phone. To make calls, take them, send texts, receive them, isn't that simple?

You can also reply from the notification on iOS

Yea. This is the way. I got no qualms about notifications as only notifications are allowed are the ones I really want to see. Everything else is turned off

Another one. Get an android phone. The end. Tired of these notification posts.

Silliness. Partner with older phone is less likely to drain you for newer and nicer things all the time

> People say iOS is difficult to operate when you’re familiar with Android

Yes it is for the first few days. On top of this, there are many features missing, which you may or may not have used a lot.

I meant the red numbers above all my apps icons. Can I?

I can clear my notifications... there is a Clear All button.

I try to stay current with both platforms and there are more similarities than differences.

A mobile OS that dynamically runs apps and and an App Store, takes photos and video, and has both cell and WiFi connectivity.

They both also borrow heavily from each other and you’ll notice functionality missing and functionality gained when you switch.

For me the biggest downgrade from Android is I have no way to clear all notifications in one button. The notifications are soooo annoying in iOS I have no disable all of them. Didn't have this issue in Android no matter how aggressive the notifications are, because I can clear them out easily and my screen is clean again.

Focus modes and scheduled summaries are where it’s at
