How to add the Dynamic Island of the iPhone 14 to your Android phone even if it is old
With each generation of mobile phones, the screen space becomes larger and larger, allowing you to take full advantage of the size of your mobile phone. However, this has led to the problem that the screen takes up space for the front camera, sensors and lights, for which Apple has come up with an innovative solution for the iPhone 14, which it has called Dynamic Island, and now we will teach you how to access it on your Android phone.
The best way to get this feature on Android right now is with an app called EdgeMask. This app combines different floating notification models that are very similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island feature, however, it also has other equally amazing options.
Once you have downloaded the EdgeMask app, follow the steps below to start using the app and setting up your Dynamic Island on your phone:
- Open the EdgeMask app.
- Click on the Apps option that may appear at the top and then enable the option that appears to you.
- Now select Notification Access and enable the toggle next to the EdgeMask icon.
- Finally, click on the Access option.
- On the screen that appears, click on Downloaded Services.
- Here you need to open EdgeMask option and enable Accessibility button.
To make sure that any mobile app notification doesn’t appear twice, the best thing you can do is to go to all the apps that usually send you notifications regularly and block floating notifications. Otherwise, there is a high chance that the same notification will appear twice on the screen.
