There's a range of different operating systems to chose from, each with their own unique features and benefits. Check out all the most popular below.
Designed by Google, Android is an easy-to-use operating system used on over one billion devices worldwide. You can set up Android however you like, with apps, folders and home screen widgets all customisable.
iOS is the intuitive, advanced, intelligent and secure mobile operating system. It's the foundation of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Windows is an easy-to-use, secure, and simple operating system with a range of standout features, including Outlook, OneDrive and Skype.
A mobile phone's operating system, or OS for short, is essentially the software that it runs on. The three most popular operating systems are Android, iOS and Windows.
iOS runs exclusively on Apple's iPhone, while Windows 10 operates on all Windows Phones. Android, however, runs on lots of different smartphones including Samsung, Sony, Huawei & Google Pixel.
The manufacturer of your smartphone will be a good indication as to which operating system you're using. If you have an iPhone, you'll have iOS. If you have a Windows Phone, you'll be running Windows 10. And if you have anything else, you'll most likely be on Android.
