Would you like to have the new Dynamic Island of the iPhone 14 Pro? Android has an app for that

Apple's Dynamic Island feature on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max has only been available for a short time, and one developer has already turned it into an app for Android devices.

Dynamic Island is a seismic change for the iPhone, with this new feature replacing the notch with a cutout that houses interactive notifications, but Android users needn't feel like they're missing out.

With dynamicSpot (opens in a new tab), you'll see a Dynamic Island-like feature appear near the hole or notch on your Android smartphone, and you can use it to interact with notifications or control your music.

Installing the app is a simple matter, and you can customize the height and width of this grip on the dynamic island, to fit perfectly into the punch hole or notch on your device.

There is a bug where duplicate notifications can appear, but there is a setting in dynamicSpot that can force them to stop anyway.

For an app that's only been available in beta for a short time, it's an impressive feat that already looks like we could see it in Android 14 or another version from Samsung or OnePlus in due course.

However, it might also tempt you to upgrade to an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max for the full Dynamic Island experience, as you'll have access to iPhone apps that have been adapted to take full advantage of the new feature.
