How to hide activity in the Dynamic Island in iOS 17
Apple’s launch of the Dynamic Island served as a practical method for showcasing alerts and activities on the iPhone. However, it’s possible to hide these activities to keep the display clutter-free.
The launch of the Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max updated the iPhone interface. The feature, a pill-shaped area at the top of the screen, aesthetically blends into the iOS interface while serving as a hub for key iPhone alerts and activities, such as Face ID unlocking and Apple Pay payments.
Dismissing activities won’t impact any ongoing actions. For example, if you dismiss an Apple Music playback from the Dynamic Island, the music will continue to play in the background.
Managing the activity of the Dynamic Island on the iPhone is beneficial for several reasons. First, it enhances focus by allowing you to dismiss activities, thereby reducing distractions and enabling you to concentrate on the main content. Second, it contributes to multi-tasking efficiency, as the ease of switching between activities facilitates a smoother, more user-friendly experience. Last, customizing Dynamic Island activity personalizes the user experience so you can tailor your device’s functionality to suit your individual needs and preferences.
