Millions of Android users are copying iPhone’s best trick – and it’s free to use

ONE of the biggest new features on the brand new iPhone has been ripped off on Android.

Apple‘s clever Dynamic Island hides the front facing selfie camera into a popup zone for things like music players and notifications.

It’s by far the biggest design change the tech giant has made to iPhone and iOS.

And it’s currently only available on the iPhone 14 Pro, which was released just a couple of weeks ago.

However, it appears Android users quite like the idea too, and some savvy developers have decided to clone it.

One, called dynamicSpot, has already notched up more than a million downloads on Google Play.

The app is free to download and use most features.

But some advanced options are paid-for, costing £3.59.

You can select the apps you wish to use in the Dynamic Island copycat.

And you can even decide how big the bar should appear.

At the moment, the app has mostly positive reviews on Google Play, with a rating of 3.5 out of 5.

Android devices have usually led the way on innovative ways of incorporating the front camera, starting with the popular pin hole option.

Some have even hidden the camera under the display entirely so users get a full uninterrupted screen experience.

Only time will tell whether other Android phone makers will try to officially emulate the Dynamic Island themselves.
