Mobile Operating

Systems: A Deep
Dive
Mobile operating systems are the software that powers our
smartphones and tablets, enabling a wide range of applications
and functionalities. This presentation explores the process
management approaches of two leading mobile operating
systems: iOS and Android.

Processes in Android
• Every android application runs in a separate process
• Android has a process they call the “Zygote”
• Android ranks a process the highest level it can

Processes in iOS
1 Background Processes
iOS allows apps to continue running in the
background, consuming minimal resources, even when
not actively used. This is enabled by features like
location tracking, background audio playback, and
push notifications.

2 Foreground Processes
Foreground processes are actively being used by the
user. They have higher priority and access to more
system resources, ensuring a responsive and seamless
user experience.

3 Suspended Processes
When an app is not actively used for an extended
period, iOS suspends its processes to conserve battery
life and optimize system performance.

Both iOS and Android provide robust process management
systems that aim to optimize system performance and user
experience. While their approaches have distinct advantages and
disadvantages, both systems strive to provide a smooth and
reliable user experience by carefully managing processes and
allocating resources efficiently.
