6 apps that work well with the
Dynamic Island
Clever uses for the iPhone 14 Pro’s coolest party trick
When Apple released the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, many thought the new Dynamic Island was just a bit of a gimmick. Until they started using it… and quickly discovered just how useful it can be, with the ability to check alerts and a variety of app activity from one handy spot. These six brilliant apps make particularly good use of the feature.

takes
its

even
further. Now you can store a goody bag of apps inside the Dynamic Island, and expanding it with a long press lets you launch any of them with just a tap. Instead of scrolling through pages of apps to find the one you need, just store your favourites in the Dynamic Island. It’s like a second, even more expansive Dock in addition to the one your iPhone already has.
