Use the Dynamic Island on iPhone
On iPhone 14 Pro and later, you can check alerts and current activity in progress—such as a Voice Memo recording in progress, an AirDrop connection, and directions from Maps—in the Dynamic Island at the top of the Home Screen or at the top of the active app. The Dynamic Island appears at the top of the screen whenever your iPhone is unlocked.
