How to have the Dynamic Island of the iPhone 14 Pro on your Android mobile

If you have the desire to try an iPhone 14 Pro for its exclusive function Dynamic Island , but your pocket cannot cope with such a whim, do not despair. Android developers are always there to copy and imitate the best features of Apple. That is why we can already tell you how to have the Dynamic Island of the iPhone 14 Pro on your Android mobile. Although it will not have all the features that have been seen in Apple's mobile. It doesn't have the same look or animations. But it is that in the end we have an Android and not an iPhone 14 Pro.The best thing is that we can have all this for free.

We are only going to need one of the many applications that have already emerged to have this curious function. Take it for what it is: an aesthetic retouching without too many pretensions And that is, until some manufacturer integrates it correctly into its terminal according to the hole for its front camera , taking advantage of its measurements and spaces, there will be no way to have the same experience as on the iPhone 14 Pro.

By the way, before continuing with the tutorial you should also know that we are going to grant several and important permissions of your mobile to third-party applications. Yes, they are published on Google Play, with the security guarantees that this entails. But we will allow apps to read our notifications and always have them on the screen. What supposes a risk to our privacy and other details such as a somewhat more pronounced consumption of the battery.There should be no problems, but you must be clear that if you continue it is at your own risk.

How to have Dynamic Island with dynamicSpot

dynamicSpot app is available for free on Android for any device. But one of the first things to know is that, although it is compatible with most devices, it will only correctly cover the camera on those Android phones that have it right in the middle. You also have to know that it is still under development, so it is expected that it will grow in possibilities and functions as it evolves and as time goes by. Although it is already functional and you can try it.

Once downloaded and installed it will be necessary to grant it several permissions. You will see it on the screen full of red crosses. Click on each one and perform the necessary action so that this app can function as the Dynamic Island of the iPhone 14 Pro.They will be permissions to read notifications, to be able to operate on top of other applications and always be visible. You will only have to allow it and go to the next screen. You'll also have to choose which apps you want to display notifications from on this dynamic island. Very useful to use it only with those that are necessary and avoid having a constant annoying notification for all notices.

With this you will be in the dynamicSpot configuration. You just have to click on the Play button in the upper right corner to start using it. You will automatically see a black island that hopefully covers the hole for your mobile's selfie camera. Thus, when you receive notifications from those applications that you have configured, you will see that different logos appear on the island to know what it is about. Although the best thing is the possibility to interact with the island to have access to more functions of these notifications.

To control the dynamic island of dynamicSpot you will only have to take into account a couple of gestures. For example, if you have activated this function with the Spotify app, you will see its logo when you play some music. To access the quick player you just have to make a long press on the Dynamic Island and see the controls. A press outside the island minimizes it again with a small animation. Artistic elements far from the experience of what was created by Apple but that at least allows us to live a similar experience.

The best thing about this dynamicSpot app is that from the Notification settings section you can detail elements of this island. For example, you can relocate it in case your mobile phone has the camera hole on one of the sides or it is not so centered. You can also change the placement and size to bring the experience as close to what's seen on iPhone 14.You can even activate this notification on the lock screen. Many free options for an app still in development.

Also, if you get tired of seeing the island you simply have to deactivate the control of the notifications section so that everything returns to normal. That or uninstall the app, of course.

How to have Dynamic Island on Android with the Dynamic Island app

There is another very interesting alternative in the Google Play Store. It is called exactly the same as the function developed by Apple: Dynamic Island. It doesn't fit our mobile so well, but it also has other virtues compared to dynamicSpot. Simply download and install it.

Of course, it will have to be granted permissions for it to work on top of other apps as just another notification. The difference here is that only by activating the functions of this tool will we receive the permission notice.It will be then when you have to choose whether Dynamic Island is active over the rest of the apps And, by the way, we cannot choose which apps can appear and which not in this dynamic island. It's like a notification bar for everything that comes to the mobile.

Well, all you have to do is activate the Turn On button to see it appear on the screen. If you want to configure its position and size, you also have the Display section for it. Here the Width control is used to manage the width and the Height control for the height. You can also activate the Allow move function to move it to the exact location where you want to use it.

In this case the control is a little different. More natural, in my opinion. A click on the turn icon that appears on this dynamic island displays the notification to find out what it is about. A long press takes you directly to the settings screen for this island.And you can also swipe from left to right to increase the volume and from right to left to decrease it.

Same as with dynamicSpot, simply go to Dynamic Island settings and disable the Turn On button to make the island disappear.
