Exploring The Functionality Of The Now Bar
The Now Bar resembles Apple’s Dynamic Island in its pill-shaped design and functionality. Furthermore, Google’s forthcoming Android 16 will introduce a similar feature known as Live Updates. This indicates that various devices are set to acquire comparable capabilities over time. An additional advantage is that Samsung’s Now Bar also remains operational in Always-on Display (AoD) mode, providing convenient access even when your device is idle.
