Unlimited Guide to Dynamic Island

Learn to Use Dynamic Island as a UI/UX Design

Recently, I got a project from a client. It was a cloud storage app for iOS. He is kind of techy, so he asked me to create a design where he wanted to show the user the file upload size, file name, and percentage inside Dynamic Island.
