iPhone vs Android text messages
Same conversation, two phones. Switch the device in the editor and only the system parts change.
| iPhone | Android | |
|---|---|---|
| Status bar | iOS clock on the left, signal, Wi-Fi and battery on the right | Android clock and icons, slimmer battery |
| Header | Contact photo and name centred, blue back chevron | Back arrow, photo and name in one row on the left |
| Font | Inter, close to the iPhone system font | Roboto, the Android system font |
| Bottom | Home indicator bar | Gesture navigation bar |
| Bubbles and receipts | Blue and grey bubbles, Delivered / Read under your last message | Uses the same Messages-style bubbles in this mockup, so a story reads the same on both |
