A key new feature of the iPhone 14 Pro models is the Dynamic Island, a pill-shaped area that replaces the notch on previous models. Using software, the dynamic island morphs into different shapes and sizes for things like incoming phone calls, alerts, notifications, Face ID authentication, timers, and more. Dynamic Island will also be integrated into Live Activities in third-party apps later this year.


A minor detail that we have now confirmed is that the dynamic island is only visible in screenshots taken on iPhone 14 Pro models while it is being used by apps or when the camera/microphone viewpoints are active. The screenshot shows the entire dynamic island, including all the elements that were added, such as: B. a circular timer icon.

On the other hand, the dynamic island does not appear in screenshots if it is completely inactive. In this case, the screenshot simply shows the background image behind the dynamic island, which is the same screenshot behavior as notch-enabled iPhones.

This approach makes sense because when Dynamic Island is actively used, it contains information that could be valuable for screenshots.

According to Marques Brownlee’s review of the iPhone 14 Pro models, the same behavior applies to screen captures on the devices.
