Android 9 was launched this week by the company Google, and the Americans have implemented a very varied range of new functions for users, including one that should reach the iPhone. I'm talking about a feature of Android 9 that Google took over, taking inspiration from the company Samsung, which has been offering it for some time for its phones, but which is now offered natively in the Android operating system.
Android 9 has implemented a new feature that allows the use of special wallpapers with phones that have Always-on Display, that is, OLED screens that can always be kept open to display certain information. Those from Samsung offered for their phones special wallpapers compatible with AoD screens, and now Google has implemented functionality in Android 9 that brings official support for this type of wallpaper in all phones.
Android 9: The GREAT feature that iPhone doesn't have
Android 9 not only has this functionality implemented, but also has various new functions integrated by Google to provide a better user experience for those who buy phones with Android 9. More precisely, in Android 9 phones with Always -on Display can identify the music around them even when they do not have access to the Internet, but everything is only temporary, because the wallpapers are displayed for 1 minute, after which a black background remains visible.
Android 9 does not support the use of animated GIF images as wallpaper for phones with AoD screens, but Google will probably integrate this functionality in the future. Android 9 has an extremely varied range of new functions for the phones it will eventually reach, and it would be very good for Apple to implement something similar in the iPhone, especially since it now uses OLED screens and has no reason to to avoid offering such a thing.
