Google is preparing a new feature for Android which improves support for ongoing notifications and it works like Apple’s Dynamic Island.
Apple’s Dynamic Island is underused, but its integration with Live Activities on iOS is what really makes it great, and Google seems to be preparing to add something similar to Android in “Rich Ongoing Notifications” in a way that’s remarkably obvious in hindsight.
The Dynamic Island is a clever way to hind the camera cutout on Apple’s latest iPhones, but it also makes Live Activities from apps easier to keep track of. Live Activities can address a variety of needs, but are most useful for keeping track of an ongoing process such as waiting for a rideshare, navigation, or tracking a food delivery.
