Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, Declares Android to be Superior to iOS in Latest Debate

In a recent development, Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, has declared Android to be superior to Apple's iOS in a response to a request for "hot takes" by tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee.

The debate on the superiority of iPhone or Android has been ongoing since the inception of smartphones.

Mosseri's statement implies that he may have previously favored iOS, but he did not provide any reasoning for his statement.

Insider attempted to contact Meta for further clarification, but we did not receive a response before publication.

Both Android and iOS have enjoyed success since the launch of the first iPhone and Android phones in 2007 and 2008, respectively.

However, the popularity of the two operating systems varies depending on the region.

In the United States, iOS is more popular, with Apple holding an estimated 52% market share, while Samsung holds 27% and other brands make up the remaining percentage.

On the other hand, globally, Android dominates with a market share of 70.8%, while iOS holds 28.4%.

During the rollout of Threads, Instagram's new text-based companion app, the iPhone version is receiving extra features initially, with the Android update to follow at a later date.
