Enough has been said about the new Apple iPhone 14 since its presentation on September 7 this year. Despite being a smartphone with an improved configuration compared to the previous one, the iPhone 13, what draws quite a lot of attention is a feature, specifically the so-called "Dynamic Island".

Throughout this article we will explain how to put dynamic island on any android phone and enjoy it without needing to have an Apple terminal. Despite being an Apple exclusive, a similar widget has been appearing over the past few days, being even functional on any mobile phone with a Google system.
What is Dynamic Island used for?
It is considered as a notification bar, It is located at the top of the main screen and is visible once you unlock the phone. This area usually provides a few details, which are fully customizable by the owner of the device at all times.
It is considered an important novelty, it replaces the notch, which has remained with it as something old and it was normal that a substitute was sought for it. It is Apple that takes the first step, although it is a matter of waiting to see if the same thing happens on other phones, so it's best to look for a homemade solution if you want to have it right now.
Details will be shown through the «Dynamic Island», among them are notifications of calls, messages, use of applications in the background, among other available utilities. It will be used as a notification if you are receiving emails, as well as others when you are not using the phone at the time.
How to put Dynamic Island on Android
It didn't take long for the Dynamic Island clone to appear, is called "DynamicSpot" and is an application available in the Play Store. It fulfills the objective, the function does it as such and it is a free utility, in addition to being light, it does not require too much phone to work.
Like any application, it needs permissions to work, once you grant it, it will start working and show that little notification through the camera notch. The program is free, although you have a version known as Pro for a price close to 5 euros, specifically 4,99 euros.
If you want to install and make DynamicSpot work, perform the following steps:
- The first thing is to download and install the application, you have it just below this text in the form of a box
- When installing it will ask you for permissions, activate each and every one of them so that it works correctly

DynamicSpot incorporates the mini multitasking function included by Dynamic Island, facilitating access to recent notifications and changes in the status of the smartphone. On the other hand, the application becomes very prominent once it is installed on the phone in question, it shines in the notch of the mobile device that has it installed.
