Apple may be adding iOS feature that Android has had for 15 years

Rumours are flying that the new feature could be on the next update

Apple may be about to add an iOS feature that Android implemented some time ago.

It's a debate that's been going on for a while now - which one is superior, Apple or Android?

Many people have strong views on the matter and the latest rumours are certainly providing even more ammunition for Android users.

While it's not confirmed, there are rumours that Apple is going to introduce a new feature.

It's probably not the most exciting feature ever and for some, it's probably not a crucial addition either.

But others reckon it's a pretty important one to have.

It's all to do with the Apple home screen. As Apple users will know, you can easily customise your home screen.

But if you add a new app, it automatically slots in next to the latest app that's been added.

In other words, there are no gaps and creating a gap isn't possible.

You can move them, organise them into folders, but you cannot leave a gap if you want to.

However, people are speculating that with the upcoming iOS 18 update, this is something you'll finally be able to do.

But Android, in comparison, has reportedly been doing this for 15 years.

So why has Apple (maybe) waited to implement this?

Well, it's not clear why, but some think they like to perfect their software before releasing it.

LADbible has contacted Apple for comment.

In other Apple news, the tech giant has told iPhone users how 'important' it is to upgrade their iOS to the latest software.

It follows a number of bugs and security worries.

The update was made available last weekend and comes just weeks after iOS 17.4 dropped in the European Union.

In its release notes, Apple said: "This update provides important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users."

Devices that can install iOS 17.4.1 are the iPhone XS and later; iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2nd generation and later; iPad Pro 10.5-inch; iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later; iPad Air 3rd generation and later; iPad 6th generation and later; and iPad Mini 5th generation and later.

Right now, Apple is yet to release details of what 17.4.1 actually is. It simply says on its website that 'details are coming soon'.

Apple says: "For the protection of our customers, Apple doesn't disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are generally available."
