Although it was announced at WWDC, it was not until the dynamic island of the iPhone 14 Pro series that the topic-filled Dynamic Island came onto the stage, which instantly brought the feature of iOS 16 integrated notifications to a new level. In addition to basic support such as the original countdown timer and third-party support including CallKit and music functions, the “Live Activities” function allows users to more easily track real-time information such as delivery progress and ball games. It can also be displayed on the dynamic island of the iPhone 14 Pro from outside the bottom of the lock screen.
Because this makes many people look forward to it, they are a little worried about whether this eye-catching function displayed on the dynamic island will generate related problems. But at present, at least the official should have a perfect plan for this API. Continue reading Apple’s guidelines for releasing the most powerful application of Dynamic Island, “Real-time Dynamics”: “No No” for advertisements and sensitive information, and supports three display methods to report the content.

Apple released the guidelines for the strongest application “Real-time Dynamic” on the dynamic island: “No No” for advertisements and sensitive information, and supports three display methods
Although during the evaluation, I really feel that iPhone 14 Pro Max The dynamic island, which has caused a lot of discussion, actually has an unimaginable sense of existence (referring to the part of notification and multi-tasking functions, I am still not used to watching videos and photos in full version XD). However, in a sense, it should make the dynamic island more glowing and hot, and the real-time dynamic function that was originally “bottomed” in the lock function of iOS 16 is directly “topped” to the active use of the dynamic island. Will it cause discomfort or even trouble for users?
Now it seems that Apple’s new Live Activities API related Guidelines not only allow developers to have a better direction, but also allow ordinary users to understand how the official is going to use such a somewhat unexpected display Abnormal ground Dig the hole area and become a fresh experience.
First of all, the most interesting thing is probably whether there is a clear category specification for developers to use this top and very eye-catching display function. As far as this guideline is concerned, Apple’s main regulations include advertisements and promotional information, and sensitive information is also within this scope.
The rest of the guidelines also include the need to define the start and end time points, display only the most necessary information, and click on the dynamic island to jump to the app. There is also “only” to update real-time feeds and notifications when the latest information is available. One of the most interesting to me is to provide the user with the control function of enabling and disabling the real-time dynamic – in this regard, although functions such as timers currently have an “X” that can directly stop the display of the dynamic island.
However, judging from the official “match score” real-time dynamic example, there is no close button even in the expanded state. I don’t know if this means that, but at present, it needs to be the same as using a timer. You have to swipe down the notification page and find this instant notification and swipe left to clear it to cancel. Then one of the items “Consider clearing the live animation on the lock screen after the end” – the “Consider” is used here, so it can be seen that it is not a hard and fast rule.
Although it seems a bit odd that non-hard has to be removed automatically. However, in fact, Apple Music will stay on the lock page for a period of time after it is paused; although the dynamic island will continue to display the music pause, it will not appear when the screen is closed in the paused state (if the app is not closed, it will continue displayed on the lock screen). To a certain extent, it may also mean that the experience in this area will have different specifications or recommended guidelines for different types of applications.
Speaking of suggestions, this guide also provides design guidelines for the three main display modes of the dynamic island.If you are a developer, you should be able to openOfficial pageand carefully study the instructions for “Island Adventure”.
