hello this is Mr Mobility a number of
0:10
people have asked me this question and
0:12
it is an interesting one they want to
0:15
know if you can install iOS by Apple and
0:19
an Android phone we all know that
0:22
Android is available from the number of
0:25
Manufacturers there are scores of
0:27
Manufacturers making Android phones from
0:30
Samsung to xiaomi to OnePlus to hmd to
0:35
Google itself to Oppo to techno there
0:40
are so many Android phone brands that
0:44
it's going to take a little bit of
0:46
compilation to list them all meanwhile
0:49
only one company only one
0:52
brand makes iOS power devices and that
0:56
brand is
0:57
Apple so there are number of people who
1:01
want to eat their cake and have it they
1:03
love the hardware from Android and
1:05
they'd love to be able to install iOS in
1:08
those devices if you're one of those
1:10
people sorry guys I have no good news
1:13
for you there is no way as at today
1:17
absolutely no way to install iOS on
1:20
Android you simply can't you can install
1:25
simulator apps that will change the
1:29
theme the look of your Android user
1:34
interface the look of the apps to
1:38
resemble iOS right there are a number of
1:41
such apps in the Google Play store so
1:44
that even though you're holding an
1:47
Android phone it looks like you are
1:50
using an iPhone or a phone running
1:53
iOS that's about the best you can do
1:56
right now there is no way to install iOS
1:59
on Android you are not going to get
2:01
Apple's App Store on your Android phone
2:04
you're not going to get ios running on
2:08
your Android phone Apple has designed it
2:10
in such a way that they are the only
2:13
ones who can do that for now who knows
2:18
it may sound crazy right now but in
2:19
another 10 or 20 years Apple might
2:22
decide to open up iOS to third party
2:24
manufacturers in which case you'll now
2:27
have other manufacturers making phones
2:30
running
2:31
iOS yes it may sound crazy now but 5
2:35
years ago 10 years ago there were things
2:37
we said Apple will never do and they
2:39
have done those things with their mobile
2:42
operating system and with their iPhones
2:44
and iPads they have open the platform up
2:47
made it more customizable and all that
2:49
so 10 20 years it's doable it's possible
2:54
don't give up hope but right now there's
2:57
absolutely nothing you can do to install
3:00
iOS on an Android phone um Run a search
3:04
for ios themes in Google Play Store if
3:07
you really want your Android phone's
3:09
user interface to look like that of an
3:12
iPhone or to look like iOS yeah you have
3:15
a number of thems and apps like that
3:19
that can do that for you that's all you
3:21
can do sorry no iOS on Android for now I
