I switched over because I preferred Apple's encryption decisions over Android's at the time. Apple drops your keys from memory while locked vs. Android unlocks once and then holds keys in memory. I hope that has changed since then.

I also could not find a way to activate biometrics for Play Store without also activating biometrics for unlocking the phone. I don't want the phone to easily unlock but if someone has my unlocked phone I am already fucked anyway so I may as well enjoy some convenience.

I mean, it's not a fortress, but it would be nice if a common thief cannot get in there just by stealing both the phone and a glass I was touching. (It was still fingerprints for everything when I switched.)
