Guide on Mobile Operating Systems

Mobile Operating Systems, often referred to as Mobile OS, are the software that run on devices like smartphones, tablets, and wearables. Mobile OS includes systems like iOS from Apple, Android from Google, and Windows from Microsoft.

Importance:
The significance of Mobile OS stems from their role in dictating the functionality and features available on a device. They are responsible for determining what type of apps a device can run, how user-friendly the interface is, and how secure the device is from threats.

How it works:
A mobile OS manages the mobile device's resources and provides a set of services for application software. The operating system provides an interface, manages memory, provides a file system, and handles system resources.
