The logic behind iOS features

1) Cleaning up individual apps cookies and other stored data - unlike Android where I can go to the app and delete unwanted data, the iOS "solution" is to uninstall and reinstall the app.

2) If the iPhone is locked and a call comes thru, I have an icon to answer the call, but not one to reject it. I can only reject the by having to click twice on the power button. Even more oddly, if the phone is unlocked I do have both options on the screen. Why? It's much easier to click on the "Hang up" icon than it is to double click on the power button. And why not offer the same feature, with both icons, whether or not the screen lock is on?

You can offer Apple feedback about it, and they can make changes if enough people mention it.

3) To undo typing, I must shake the phone from side to side. Is there another, simpler way not requiring a gesture?

You can always just use the backspace to delete text you just typed. The shake to undo deletes everything you just types in one action.

4) To set up an alarm in the future, I cannot use the alarm function. With Android, it's logically placed under "Alarm". Why not with iOS?

Who says it's not placed under Alarm? I can set up an Alarm and it will sounds the next time in the future the time I set is reached.

If you want to set up a specific date and time for an alert to happen, then that is not an Alarm, it's a reminder.

Or an event on a calendar. It makes no sense to add a one time event as an Alarm because with a time and date, it's not an Alarm.

I would question why Android thinks a reminder or a calendar event are the same thing as an alarm.

I certainly would not expect to add a marked event for a day and time in Alarms.

"The logic behind iOS features: I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max that I love. After using the Android technology for decades, I switched to iOS last year and still getting to know it. The logic behind some of these features, compared to their Android counterparts, is not clear to me."

Learning About Features:

Find some videos on YouTube on how to perform things. That will be a simple learning lesson.

You may want to consider going back to Android if you don’t like how iOS works.

You have posted to a user-to-user support site. We are all users......just like you. Apple is not here.

No one here can answer any "why" questions about what Apple does what they do.
