Swiping toward the center of the Island does seem to “minimize” it, though that behavior seems to vary. When I tried it while on a phone call, it made the time and voice waveform disappear, but the phone icon—to indicate that there’s an active phone call—remained. Doing it with playing music caused the music widget to vanish entirely. Swiping back out from the center restored it.<\/p>\n

Things get a little more complicated when two items are in the Dynamic Island.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I find myself constantly misusing the Dynamic Island. When music is playing and you tap the Dynamic Island, the iPhone zips you into the Music app. When a timer is running and you tap the Dynamic Island, the iPhone zips you into the Clock\/Timer app. You have to long press<\/strong> the Dynamic Island to bring up the useful Now Playing button interface and the Timer interface for starting and stopping the timer.<\/p>

As Nilay Patel stated in his great review on The Verge<\/em><\/a>, this feels exactly opposite<\/strong> how Dynamic Island should react to a tap. A tap should bring up the Dynamic Island UI, not<\/em> take you to the app. And a long press should take you to the app, not bring up the Dynamic Island UI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
