MESSAGING:

iOS -   You’ll be able to plaster your message threads with icons and animations, emoji will play a bigger role (quite literally), and you’ll even be able to add handwritten messages
           iMessage will have the scope to implement its own type of third-party apps into it. This will enable you to readily share a wide range of content with your contacts without having to open specific apps or even a generic iOS sharing menu, as well as doing more advanced things like ordering food and making person-to-person payments – all within the Messages app.

Android-  Google is launching a whole new standalone messaging app called Allo, which will incorporate its considerable search and machine learning technology.You’ll be able to conduct Google searches, make restaurant bookings and much more from within Allo itself. The app will also learn over time and suggest replies based on the words and photos that have been sent to you.

There’s also an ephemeral message option for that discrete Snapchat vibe, plus, you get the ability to increase the size of emoji and scrawl over photos before sharing.


ASSISTANT SOFTWARE:

iOS -   Siri finally opens up to third-party app developers, so you’ll be able to ask Apple’s assistant to access non-Apple apps. Imagine asking Siri to order an Uber, or send a WeChat message for you.

Android -   Google has been improving its Google Now on Tap tool separately from the main Android OS, so it didn’t have a lot to say on that front in terms of Nougat-specific improvements.

USER INTERFACE AND NOTIFICATIONS:

As far as UI and notifications are concerned, it seems that both OS have taken pages out of each other's books.

iOS -   Is now allowing users to interact with the notifications without the need to unlock the phone, Android Pit reported. Swiping left gives access to the music player while swiping right opens the camera.

     Apple users can also view the notifications simply by picking up their phones, a feature that Android N has yet to match.

Android -   Android N Notification redesign resembles iOS notifications more.They are now much easier to read, have smaller fonts occupy the width of the screen. The notifs can also now be grouped together based on app.
