The iPhone's Dynamic Island notifications are a cleaver idea. In Android 16, apps might pull off something similar, but slotted within the status bar.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve come across some interesting details about the next major build of Android. Currently in development under the apparent codename of “Baklava,” Android 16 will reportedly bring a cool new feature called Priority modes for notifications.

Recommended Videos Android Authority reports that Android 16 could introduce something similar to Dynamic Island notifications. On iPhones with the pill-shaped Face ID cutout at the top, apps can actually use the space around it to show dynamic alerts. Related Android 16 could just make it universal, thanks to a new system called Rich Ongoing Notifications. The software code for this feature was first spotted in the latest QPR build of Android 15.

Whether these small app chips will be responsive isn’t clear, but if Dynamic Island notifications are anything to go by, it would be functionally sensible to do so with Rich Ongoing Notifications. Once implemented, tapping on them should likely open a dialog box with more information, or even take users to the full-screen view.
