iPhone’s Dynamic Island is two weeks old. The race to copy it on Android has already begun

What looks like a meme takes less time than expected. There are already several participants in the race to bring Dynamic Island to Android. No matter how much sales volume the iPhone 14 Pro has (it aims to be quite high unlike the base models), will mark a path in the design line from both the manufacturers joining the trend of the island and the developers bringing it to Android.

The democratization of AMOLED and the central holes in the screen allow this idea to be relatively easy to emulate at the software level, and in just two weeks since the Island concept went public, we already have similar offers from various fronts.

Developers give everything to bring Ada to Android

Just a few days after the arrival of the iPhone 14 Pro, developers other than Xiaomi started creating themes and APKs with the integration of this island. For obvious reasons these are still in beta and early versions are still in development, but first participants in the race to copy this function.

It is expected that in a few weeks we will find the Xiaomi theme store (and those from other manufacturers with third-party customized theme engines, although approved by the OEM itself). But it’s not just about the issuesand the first apps in early access are already appearing in the Play Store.

If we type “Dynamic” in Play Store there is already an extensive list of results with searches that users begin to make. There is interest in the feature and most users want it on their phone. Dynamic Spot was the first to hit the Play Store (in early access), but it won’t be the last.

And not everything is software. The next Xiaomi CIVI will leave holes in the screen that we’ve seen for years to emulate this island model, simulate it with software, and bridge the gap between different sensors. this is just the beginningand the iPhone 14 Pro hasn’t been on sale for a month.

The dark side of having this feature on Android

The arrival of Dynamic Island on Android is at the hands of a small problem and that is why such applications you need accessibility permission. This is Android’s biggest security drawback and how hackers started infecting Android 13.

On paper, it shouldn’t be too much trouble if we download this type of app from Play Store, let’s always keep this in mind. we give them full permissionas they need permission to access notifications as well as overlay other apps.
