Android is the most widely used mobile operating system across the globe and it doesn’t really have any major alternatives except for Apple’s iOS. Though Android has a beautiful interface and thanks to its flexibility & customization options, we don’t get saturated very easily but there comes a time when we want to try something new. That’s when we want to give iOS a try but iPhone being a premium priced device, not everyone can afford to switch easily. Thankfully, Android’s flexibility lets you use iOS (Well, sort of!) on your Android device.
Best iPhone launcher for Android – One Launcher
One Launcher is without a doubt the best launcher you can have if you want the iOS interface packed with some cool customization features. Along with iPhone-looks, it is also the most feature rich among its competitors. Once you install One Launcher and open the app, an introductory screen comes up along with a button that says “Experience”. Once you hit the “Experience” button, the app takes you straight to the iOS-like homescreen. The first thing you will notice is that it succeeds in looking almost exactly like iOS 9. The icons, which although are a tad different, look very much the same as you would have seen on an iPhone.
One Launcher is no-doubt the best iPhone launcher you can get, but there are a host of other offerings on the Play Store. These apps too bring the iOS experience but if you expect a lot more, you will be disappointed. We totally recommend One Launcher but if you have some qualms with it, you can try out the following iPhone launchers and other apps that brings iOS equivalent features:
- i Launcher OS & Launcher 8 Pretty
i Launcher OS and Launcher 8 Pretty are virtually identical apps. They have the same interface and the same set of few settings. They don’t have many features but at least you get the iOS homescreen on your Android smartphone without any fuss. Once you click the app, you are taken to the iOS like homescreen. There are not many customization options here. You can change the background wallpaper, move around apps and create folders. The good thing is that both i Launcher OS & Launcher 8 Pretty don’t cause any problems to your phone’s performance. They run smoothly and there are no stutters or lags.

- iLauncher
Another iOS launcher that doesn’t bring much apart from the iOS-like homescreen. The iLauncher matches the iOS homescreen pretty well and we also appreciate the fact that it supports icon packs. Other than that, the app leaves a lot to be desired, as it brings a slow, clunky experience.

Control Panel – Smart Toggle
Control Center is a pretty handy feature, which was introduced in iOS 7. It brings shortcut toggles to various tasks like WiFi, torch, Airdrop and more and lets users control their music, increase or decrease brightness and more. If you have always wanted a Control Center for Android, Control Panel – Smart Toggle brings exactly that. The app brings a number of toggles like data, WiFi, silent mode, screen timeout, Bluetooth, GPS and more. It’s certainly not an iOS launcher but it does bring a part of the iOS experience, plus it works fine unlike most iPhone launchers, so give it a try.

Flui Icon Pack
If you want the best icon pack that not only brings iOS icons but even betters them, then Flui Icon Pack should be your choice. Flui Icon Pack brings more than 800 icons that are inspired by iOS’ design and some of them even look better than the iOS implementation. Moreover, Flui Icon Pack is available for most launchers including popular ones like Nova, ADW, Themer, Aviate, Go, Next and more. Developer Image
