# What Is Different on Android

> What Somos InControl for Android does differently from the iPhone app, and which iPhone features it doesn't have yet.

Android 0.9 is the same app idea as the iPhone app, built for Android. These are the places it differs.

## Different on Android

| On iPhone | On Android |
| - | - |
| TestFlight | Google Play closed test: [First Launch](https://docs.somosincontrol.com/android/first-launch.md) |
| Local Network and Bluetooth permissions | Nearby devices (Android 17 or later) and notifications (Android 13 or later): [Permissions](https://docs.somosincontrol.com/android/permissions.md) |
| Live Activity and Dynamic Island | A notification card on the Lock Screen and in the shade: [Lock Screen and Widgets](https://docs.somosincontrol.com/android/lock-screen-and-widgets.md) |
| Home Screen widget | Three Android widgets: Presets, Mute, and Rooms & Volume |
| Sleep Timer and Alarms as sheets | A dialog for the Sleep Timer and Android's own time and day editor for alarms |
| Sliders in iOS style | Android's Material sliders. The controls and labels are the same |
| Whole Home purchase | No Whole Home purchase in the Android build. Every room has the full controls |

## Not on Android yet

* Apple Watch and watch faces (there is no Wear OS app)
* Siri and Shortcuts
* Syncing presets, room order and favorites between phones (iCloud sync on iPhone). On Android they stay on the phone you set them up on
* Demo Mode

## Good to know

* Switching to another playlist while the queue is still filling can leave one already-sent command behind. Wait for loading to finish first.
* Under heavy load, a volume change or acknowledgement from the speaker can arrive late.
* Found something else? Write to [cjmo.app@gmail.com](mailto:cjmo.app@gmail.com) with a screenshot and the room name.
