How to set up Dynamic Island on iPhone 17 Pro

Setting up Dynamic Island on iPhone 17 Pro is mainly achieved by enabling “real-time activity” permission for specific applications in “Settings”. Lingdong Island is the interactive area at the top of the screen of iPhone 14 Pro and subsequent models, which can display notifications, activity progress, and other information.


Basic settings:
Enable real-time activity permission: Go to the “Settings” on your phone, select the app that needs to enable Lingdong Island, such as navigation, food delivery software, etc., turn on the “Real time Activity” switch, so that the app can display dynamic information on Lingdong Island, such as food delivery progress, navigation routes, etc.
System level Dynamic Island Configuration: Find the “Dynamic Island” option in “Settings” (some system versions have the path “Settings Notification Dynamic Island”), where you can customize the display content (such as notification preview, animation effects), transparency, and triggering method (such as long pressing to expand details).
Practical function settings:
Real time status display: The system supports the display of food delivery/taxi progress, ticket/flight information, navigation routes, etc. After switching apps, these information can still be suspended and displayed.
Backend task monitoring: Music playback, timer, download progress and other backend activities can be continuously displayed on Lingdong Island, and clicking can quickly switch back to the application.
Third party app adaptation: Most mainstream apps (such as maps, music, and health) already support Lingdong Island, and specific display styles can be set within the app.
Personalized Decoration and DIY:
Component Store Download: Search for “Lingdong Island Component” on the App Store and download decoration apps (such as dynamic wallpapers and theme icons) to customize the appearance of Lingdong Island.
System theme linkage: Some iOS themes can synchronize and adjust the color and animation of the dynamic island, making it consistent with the desktop wallpaper style.
