There is no doubt that of the few innovations that the new iPhone 14 brought, A dynamic island is one of the most discussed, and rightly so, because it provides a solution, if not perfect, much more attractive than it was, to a recent problem in mobile phones: the camera notch or. notchcall it what you want.

Yes, it’s true: the iPhone 14 brought with it much more than Dynamic Island, as we collected in our iPhone 14 Pro Max review, but the main advantages include incremental improvements that are very interesting, but not surprising. For example, on the subject of cameras: the Pro’s camera system is perhaps the best we’ve seen so far, but it was a feature that will arrive on mobile phones sooner or later.

Now, the Dynamic Island theme was something more unexpected, wasn’t it This was well liked outside and inside the Apple terminal ecosystem, and the best example is that the next generation iPhone fully commits to this. What about Android, you ask? This is where we are going, and it is that if the iPhone were the pioneers with the theme notchit didn’t take long for the androids to keep up with them.

So the big question is… Will Android as a platform bet on its own implementation of Dynamic Island? I’m not exaggerating when I say that if I ask, there would be many of us who would want it for yesterday, but while it happens or it doesn’t happen, and if it does, it won’t happen tomorrow… : Third Party Apps to the rescue! Or, at worst, to use the time to excuse redundancy, to use anything that carelessly falls into their nets.

In case you’re confused, this is Dynamic Island:

I did notice a rebound, although that was to be expected. It turns out that The Verge is publishing a story about DynamicSpot, an app designed to offer the same functionality as Dynamic Island on Android. As they warn, the application shows the routes, but it is in the early stages of development and various errors may appear. Moreover, this is a paid application in the full version, and even in this it does not reach what is on iOS and iPhone.

However, just do a quick Google Play search to see the term Dynamic Island, alone or accompanied by slogans like iPhone, notch, xiaomi either topicamong other things, it becomes visibly popular. In fact, when you start typing the name, an app called Dynamic Island Info already stands out with an average star rating and a few comments accusing it of being a scam, an app that does nothing but display ads.

When we see other applications that respond to the same term, there is a little bit of everything, including those that seem reliable or at least with hints of offering features related to Dynamic Island, but practically all of them have very few downloads and almost no comments. How to trust, know the history of Google Play. Over time, of course, the wheat will be separated from the chaff, and if not officially, we will have Dynamic Island for Android, as Apple commands, or very similar.

Meantime, it is better not to fall into temptation, because even the best cases like DynamicSpot (here you have it in case you like it; it’s in early access) won’t be worth the time in its current state. It is better to wait for others to sift through it and for the invention to mature as it should.
