Android 16 could add a new API that lets apps create Rich Ongoing Notifications, reminiscent of the iPhone’s Dynamic Island.

    I remember people going crazy about it when Apple introduced it, and then I saw a video of it in action and was like, “is that it?”.

      If it worked well it’s really nice. The problem is apps in the background tend to not update it as often as it should. So sometimes I’ll have a weather alert that’s 30 minutes old, along with a notification saying “please open the app for more updated info”.

        I thought it was only me who was seeing stale data there. It’s just a persistent notification, but it was marketed beautifully.
