When designing mobile apps, one of the biggest challenges is creating an experience that feels at home on both iOS and Android platforms. Each has its own set of design guidelines—Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) for iOS, and Material Design for Android. These guidelines help create a consistent user experience within each ecosystem, but they can also clash when you're trying to design an app that works well on both platforms. Your goal is to find a sweet spot where your app feels intuitive and native to all users, regardless of their device.
