Instagram boss, Adam Mosseri, recently lit a digital fire by diving into the long-standing debate between Android and iOS. He simply said, "Android's now better than iOS," and this triggered heated discussions all over the internet.

This all started on Threads, a new app from Meta. They wanted to get users talking, so famous tech YouTuber, Marques Brownlee, asked for people's most exciting tech thoughts. Mosseri couldn't resist and he commented, starting a battle on a topic that has kept the tech world buzzing for years - Android or iOS?

What Mosseri meant was that while iOS was great before, Android has stepped up its game. It's not a totally new idea. Android phones have always been loved for their ability to be customised and having lots of different devices to choose from. On the other hand, iOS is known for its smooth design, great security, and how all Apple devices work together so well.

But, people weren't happy with Mosseri's view. Those who love iOS fought back with jokes like, "I too hate privacy," and "Do they let you dress yourself in the morning?" One even used a famous meme of Eric Andre to say, "Why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave?"

However, Mosseri wasn't alone. Many Android fans agreed with him, saying Android is already better and that "Android is innovating while Apple remains stagnant."

This whole argument shows just how seriously people take their phone's operating system. Is Android's freedom and customisation better, or is iOS's security and smooth user experience the winner? It all depends on what you like more.

No matter which side you're on, this argument is far from over. As Android and iOS keep getting better and better, the fight for the best operating system isn't ending soon. And this whole thing just goes to show that a single comment from a tech bigwig can spark a huge debate about these massive tech companies and the systems that rule our digital world.
