Just tap on the little black popup to open the displayed app, long press the popup to expand it and view more details. iPhone's Dynamic Island is not customizable, but dynamicSpot is! You can change interaction settings, select when to show or hide the popup or which apps should appear.

iPhone 14 Pro's ‌Dynamic Island‌

Instead of leaving the pill-shaped area at the top of the display unused, Apple decided to create new experiences for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users. ‌Dynamic Island‌ displays various types of information and controls to users, including Now Playing, timers, and other system-wide alerts such as AirPods connecting. Chinese smartphone maker realme indirectly called Apple's ‌Dynamic Island‌ "quite appealing" as it looks to crowdsource ideas to replicate it.

Well, this didn't take long. For some reason "Dynamic Island" does not look right on Android devices. It just looks strange and off-set.

It's kind of depressing that the Android world seems so interested in a feature that's passable enough for most Apple diehards to pass on this year's phone. You've got a full top row, guys… have some self-esteem.
