I’ve been using Google Pixels since they were Nexus phones and just activated my new 14 yesterday. It’s a little weird but I like it so far. I do miss twire instead of twitch, YouTube re-Vance’d, and Firefox with Adblock. What does a long term android user like me need to know/install/settings tweak/etc?

You'll want to spend some time learning how notifications work as they're quite different.

Also - seriously consider buying an Apple Watch - doesn't have to be the most expensive model. iPhone and Apple Watch are good products on their own, but combined they are amazing.

Getting used to the notifications has been probably the biggest learning curve. I also miss having my app drawer exactly how I wanted it. I did get an Apple Watch, I had a Samsung galaxy 4 and couldn’t get it to pair with the iPhone. I gotta say I’m impressed l, I LOVE the watch. Got the SE 2nd gen, I think.

Ever since I switched to iOS I always have like two weeks worth of notifications at any given time. My wife thinks I’m nuts but like… if you don’t jump on any given notification it’s just tucked away under a second swipe and I never remember to look there lol.

Though I am SO happy that with ios17 IOS is FINALLY adding active notifications.

Wdym “active notifications”? Do you mean live activities? Those have been a thing since iOS 16
