Regardless of what the rest of the companies do at the design level, if you are an Android user you can install it today a “Dynamic Island” on your deviceand all thanks to this application.
Dynamic Spot for Android
The application dynamicSpot it was born with a clear purpose, and you can already guess what it is. When you install it on your Android phone, it will offer you the possibility of integrating an elongated widget at the top screen (or wherever you want, really), and from there it will work like a dynamic notification center*. The animations with the icons of the apps are not as fluid as the native Apple system, but it is not something that impedes its usability.
Synchronize it with your apps to receive notifications directly on the island
Once the application is installed, you can configure what type of notifications and alerts you want to receive in that space. When you receive an alert from WhatsApp, for example, you can see the app icon on the island, and pressing it will run the application. For this to be possible you will need to give the app permission to access your information, but it asks for the data that any other application of this type. If you receive multiple notifications, they will chain one after the other.
With a simple tap on the island you can see all pending notificationsand if you hold down you can unfold it to access more information. With the extended information you can carry out actions such as replying to messages or accessing the control options in multimedia contentlike music for example. The most interesting features of the app are available for free, but there is a premium version that adds even more options and displays the island on the lock screen. This premium version costs you 4.99 euros.
