I wanted to switch to Pixel 10, but the iOS 26 feature may keep me on iPhone

It has turned from a Google Pixel 3 xl To Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max In 2021, in the years after that, I missed a lot Google fist me. This feature is so useful that I was shocked because it was not brought to iPhone or even other Android phones in the years that followed. Hold me to save me from the misery of listening to terrible music whenever I need to call business, my health insurance provider, mobile phone company, or any countless wet tasks that still require talking with an actor. Instead, the Google feature will silence my phone while maintaining the active activity, listen to Hold for me and then ring when the time comes to return to the call with alert the actor I will return soon.

And so in The developer conference around the world 2025When Apple announced Assistance – It seems very similar to the Pixel contract for me- I felt overwhelmed. I was looking to switch to Android for Pixel 10Partially because I missed these calls control elements for daily issues. But with iOS 26You should discover the help of Hold Hold Music, then give you the option to silence the call while maintaining it active. After that, when the actor returns, the phone will teach you when it is time to return to the call. We will have to wait at least at least the general experimental version to start trying this feature, but on paper, it looks exactly like the pixel feature.

Although I am happy that iPhone will finally have the equivalent of this feature, it is useful to point out that it took a long time for these communication improvements to reach the Google pixel line. Google A contract to me In 2020, but most other Android phones made by Samsung, OnePlus and others do not include their own idea.

It is similar to the feature of examining new calls for iOS 26 Sex lace call screen optionBut it seems that the delivery of Apple will take a more automatic approach. The Apple call screen will collect information such as the person’s name and the purpose of an unknown caller, then provide it as a summary to help you determine whether you should pick up. You can also send more claims as needed if you are still not sure.

Google solution allows you to choose the questions that are asked on the caller, and instead of a summary, see as a text copy of the call.

What I appreciate most of these features is that they remember that iphone It is a phone at the end of the day. And the callers remain via random mail as a problem now as it has always been, especially Voice cloned animals, Amnesty International Add more problems to the types of fraud that try to reach people.

Until these features are available when iOS 26 reaches later this year, I will continue to bring my chest to the next time I have to contact the health insurance supply. Keeping my cross -music fingers can become something of the past when Hold is widely available.
