My mother's upgrading from a Huawei P9 to an iPhone she received as a gift (don't know which model it is).

She doesn't know how to use iOS and I'm finding it difficult to teach her, since I don't know how it works either, so I was wondering if it was possible to install some version of Android on it.

Sorry if it's the wrong community to post this in

Technically yes, but basically nothing works on it and it works on one phone (iphone 7)

Outside of settings being somewhat confusing, everything is basically close enough to most Android phones in terms of usage. Iirc that era of Huawei phones had basically similar looking settings pages to iOS.

I'd just compare both side by side and I'm pretty sure there's guides on specific things you'd worry about.

What is something youre struggling with?

(I currently own an iphone x)

Pretty much the UI has been the biggest problem, I'll try to find something like the microsoft launcher to make it look more familiar, thanks anyway

Does iOS allow launchers now?

As you just learned, launchers aren't a thing on ios. You can customize it a lot to make it more familiar with widgets and shortcut. I have never used the Microsoft launcher, only the pixel one so I don't know how it looks
