3) Mobile data won't work during phone calls?
4) True caller not showing name on the screen when someone calls.
5) No torrents to download files?
6) Any adblocker which can block all ads without VPN?
7) Best keyboard for iPhone
8) How to clear all notification on the badges?
I had all the options on my previous phone. I am on iPhone 8 Plus.
1) phone app doesn't support smart dialing / T9. There is Favorites, but most just use their Contact list and search or use Siri to call the person.
2) like mentioned already. using the mute switch, but will still see the notification. just swipe it up & away.
3) Try Doogald suggestion
4) For True caller not showing name on the screen when someone calls.
Try this if not already done so, iPhone settings > Phone > Caller Identification and Block and enable Truecaller
5) Torrents are frowned upon
6) Any adblocker - try metllicamilitia suggestion. personally I don't use one.
7) Best 3rd party keyboards - I've used SwiftKey and Gboard. both are nice.
3rd party keyboards though do act differently than on other OS's. You have to switch to that
keyboard for the first time in everything. Its not just one time switch in Settings. (apples way)
8) How to clear all notification on the badges - Like metllicamilitia said.
If you can Live with all this from switching to an iPhone & iOS and with just a different mindset/learning curve, great. If not, then sounds like Android OS would be better for you.
