THE FUSE

If you're coming from Android, one of the more frustrating adjustments on iPhone is how much control you lose over notifications. Marking a message as read straight from your lock screen or sending a smart reply? No longer possible. Liking someone's text to signal you've read it? Also not available anymore. Android also lets you choose exactly the type of notifications you want from apps, such as allowing a shopping app to give you information about deliveries, but no marketing messages, for instance. iOS doesn't offer as much depth when it comes to how notifications are handled, largely offering per-app toggles. This lets you choose whether the banners, sounds and badges are on or off.
