@@MrSamPhoenix As someone who upgraded from an 8 Plus to a 15, Dynamic Island stands out so much to me. I wound up skipping the notch era but it’s really stood out while watching videos in the background, having calls, and listening to music.
@ Well said! When the iPhone 14 Pro series were rumored to have the “hole punch” I thought it’d be silly to have two of them. I wanted Apple to simply make the notch smaller. But they surprisingly made what many thought would be a an eyesore into something beautiful. I see many Android manufacturers copying it.
@@MrSamPhoenix Yet the Apple haters say that they copy Android on every little thing. I have a privacy screen protector on the phone and it felt weird putting it on regarding the top portion of it due to the camera cutout but the accessories made to account for it actually are very well thought out. On top of having an Otterbox case I have a camera lens protector as well.
@ True. Many people hate Apple only because it’s popular to do so. But they forget that the company changed the world with their products many times (Apple Lisa/Mac, iPod, & iPhone). And I have a screen protector that covers the whole screen without issue.
Coming from the 12 pro to the 16 pro max I didn’t think I would like the dynamic island but once I started to notice what the dynamic island was doing automatically I was like damn that’s useful.. I can see apple put a lot of thought into the dynamic island
FYI,there are definitely third party Dynamic island apps for Android. Maybe not the phone you have specifically but I used an app called Dynamic Spot on my previous One plus 8t and now my Samsung Galaxy s24 plus. And it works perfectly. All the features showed here works exactly on my phone with the exception of the flashlight. But everything else: calls, playing music,notifications, timers, directions, Uber, etc are exactly the same. There is a free version that's a bit more limited but does the basics and the paid version which is five dollars and does everything which I have.. Honestly I love this feature and really comes in handy, especially when driving. Yoi can just tap the island while waiting for a light. I know others complain about it but it's one of the few things from iPhone I love...without having an iPhone haha.
I’d like to be able to long press it to return to the Home Screen when watching a movie because sometimes it’s difficult to get out of those movie apps.
@@beloved_doug only if you’re not trying to watch the game! Most times the game you’re watching is lagging behind Apple sports notifications and they end up spoiling the game! I had to turn off all notifications from it.
Hi HST, I am an 85 year old viewer of your videos, which I follow all the time. I still can't find how to put things into the Dynamic Island. Can you help please?
@@ThomasHardyTech yeah exactly, as a a former android user who upgraded to the 16 and is pretty neutral about phones, the Face ID hardware is always gonna need more space than a selfie camera, plus even the 13 notch isn’t that noticeable
I just found out that after doom scrolling on any app in particular, if you hold the dynamic island until you get haptic feedback and leave it, it scrolls to the top of the page.
I think Apple should change the way Dynamic Island works: Long-pressing on Dynamic Island should open the application. Meanwhile, tapping on Dynamic Island should only expand it within the application (without opening the app).
I’ll tell you what, that satellite text messaging really came in handy when I lost all communication during that recent tragic event. Never thought I would use it, but I was glad to have it.
Largely most of the travel apps are great with dynamic island. From flight to car rental and even apps like Uber. Hotels, not so much but completely understandable as you don’t need live updates like that.
yeah but there are bugs too... if you accept a call while on bluetooth device (not apple) it'll go to earpiece mode it's of the connected bluetooth. But when you make a call then the audio is through bluetooth... I mean what's the logic here? Call routing setting is set to automatic.
Yea that’s cool but still not enough customization as in texts messages email or other things that we all know its capable of doing long story short it needs more functionality not just certain apps
As of 2023, there are an estimated 1.46 billion active iPhone users worldwide. This represents a market share of 21.67% of the world's total smartphone-using population
Is there a way to hide it completely, just like notch? Find it rather stupid ideas - takes too much space, touching front facing camera with finger, etc, distracts from content.
how about instagram dynamic island? when upload a post or story? after ios 18 in my phone its not show up to dynamic island… in ios 17 its show up to dynamic island…

@@HotshotTek many thanks for your helpful reply.
The designer at Apple who came up with the idea of the Dynamic Island design , hats off to you. He literally turned a hindrance to a feature.
I didn’t think I’d like the Dynamic Island, but it quickly grew on me and now I love it.

app at the end is called "lock launcher"

What’s the app with the CPU usage and dates? Rocket alone doesn’t come up in App Store.
you can search in chinese 锁屏启动，just copy it and search
@@KingMike8 looking for this comment
It’s called lock launcher, not rocket. He made a mistake.
@ You are absolutely correct!! Totally works now! FPS & CPU% are on my Dynamic Island!!

What's the name of the app that gives information about performance you had mentioned?
rocket

Good video. tx.
Just wonder what is the full App name that displays the real time info in Magic Island
What’s that performance app name?
Cool video but the way ur screen protector is on ur phone is naaaaasty
Excellent video. Thanks buddy
I love using Apple Sports and watching the Philadelphia Eagles dominate this season in real time using the Dynamic Island
The searches go crazyyy
Thank you for this super awesome and easy to understand video!
the space is wasted when watching videos or playing games. When not in use, it should disappear completely or become much smaller... 😅
What an nonsense. It's just fine as it is.
maybe theres a option to make it as show always or jst when u do activities or receive noti

Why does my iPhone not show live activities on google Maps app

Innerbloom is straight heat
It’s the same function over and over. Basically you can keep track and interact with up to 2 apps that support it.
4:03 how did you rearranged that?
Today on tech tips for Nana we look at the Dynamic Island basics.
Thanks
I can’t find the rocket app he mentioned. Anyone know how it’s spelled?
He has it linked in the description, "Links to apps". it's called lock launcher which is the rocket app icon
Dynamic Island will die the day Apple figures out how to get rid of the notch.
It’s a gimmick to mask there lack of ability to remove the notch.
It is still the best way to keep the notch with being cool and useful and not annoying
Honestly they should move as much more stuff there as possible starting with notifications
@@FRND23 no. Then your Live Activity would be obstructed every time you get a notification. Pointless and adds nothing.
@ a notification don’t stick around. Only last a few second
Yes. Make it a setting to toggle on and off for the 4% of people that use live activities.
It is very usefull
It should work with social media
i did no know very well done
Yea that’s cool but still not enough customization as in texts messages email or other things that we all know its capable of doing long story short it needs more functionality not just certain apps
Nice 😊
Thank you! Cheers!

TH-cam music dont work
Yes it does. Which iPhone do u have
@drewp25831 15 plus..whenever I close/minimise youtube music, it turns off.
@@amdadulhaque6939 correct TH-cam doesn’t allow u too minimize the app and still listen to music. Unless you have TH-cam premium
@@amdadulhaque6939 I think it’s because he paid for TH-cam music. If you don’t then the music will stop when you close the app.
@@amdadulhaque6939 you probably disabled the function then
The dynamic island is not utilized enough so it's pretty much a missed opportunity!
