A mobile operating system sometimes called a mobile OS for short, is an operating system that runs only on mobile devices. Consider it the backbone of all of your favourite applications and programs. It's basically the system on top of which everything else sits. It also is the basis for all of your settings, such as how you connect to the internet, the way you text and how you keep your calendar appointments.
Types of mobile operating system-
(i) Android- Android's OS is owned by Google and is considered open-source to Apple's closed system. With an open-source system, software developers can build applications and programs until their heart's content and users reap the benefits of tons of free software.
(ii) Windows- Microsoft is no stranger to computer operating systems, but is a relative newcomer to mobile OS. Its latest version uses the tiled layout common to its most recent computer OS. These tiles can be rearranged and moved to the user's preferences.
(iii) BlackBerry- OS- A lesser known, but still used OS is the one designed for BlackBerry devices, common among business users. The BlackBerry operating system is well-liked for its enhanced security and safety measures. It was the phone of choice for former President Barack Obama!
