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

Sell the iPhone and get an android
more appropriately, “buy your mom an android”
The other replies answered your question already, but this may solve your little “problem” here: Apple offers free in-person training sessions on how to use their products. They’re intended precisely for non-technical people like your mother.
So, if you don’t want to be the person teaching her how to use iOS, you could look into getting her to attend these sessions instead.You can fault Apple for many things but this offer of theirs is just great on every level IMHO.
It’s amazing the things you can and cannot get when you pay a shitload of money
I wouldn’t be surprised if this programme made them a rather sizeable profit even if they had a typical margin on their products.
Best case, it would be astronomically more complicated than just learning to deal with iOS. That’s if it’s technically possible at all.
Maybe just swap the phone out for something that runs Android natively.
Just sell it and get an Android if iOS isn’t working for them. No reason to go through all that extra trouble trying to make iOS like Android when it isn’t.
Sell that thing, get a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS
don’t know how helpful it is but here’s a video https://youtu.be/O0_Aou3eZl8?si=2OZRbLw7iAIi-VyL
No Android and no custom launchers on iPhone, she’ll have to learn using iOS, I think it’s just a tad more of a fuss than moving to a different Android flavor, I’d try to look up some videos and materials about it to help her if I were you
Apple is crap and a hugely evil monopolistic destroyer of humanity. There is definitely way to screw iPhones boot loaders and install android.
