Operating system is the heart of any computing system such as PC, Laptop and mobile phone devices. A cell phone operating system is the software that manages the hardware and software resources of a mobile device. It provides a user interface for interaction, supports applications and facilitates communication between hardware components and software programs. Cell phone OSs play a crucial role in determining a device's functionality, performance and user experience.

Operating system is responsible for management and control of all resources such as memory, hard disk drive and monitor. These resources are shared among different application programs running simultaneously. A cell phone OS supports mobile devices such as smartphones, PDAs, tablets etc.

Following are the key features of cell phone operating systems.
• User Interface (UI) : It offers various types of user interfaces such as touch based, gesture based and voice based. UI elements include app icons, home screens, notification panels and navigation controls.
• Multi-tasking and multi-threading : It should allow users to run multiple applications simultaneously and switch between them seamlessly. Multithreading allows to run multiple threads or processes concurrently. Hence it enables efficient utilization of device resources.
• Connectivity and communication : OSs support various technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, NFC and GPS. Various apps such as messaging, email, calling and other social media apps (e.g. skype) rely on these connectivity features.
• Security and privacy : It implements security measures to protect user data and privacy. This include encryption, secure boot, biometric techniques, app sandboxing etc.
