This is what Apple calls icons that do not disappear from the screen until the action is completed.
- current call;
- shareplay;
- player;
- timer;

- screen recording;

Also in the upcoming version of iOS 16.1, the interactive screen cutout will support the Live Activities API, a notification system that will allow app developers to control notifications.
Users who have already managed to hold the iPhone 14 Pro in their hands note the incredible smoothness of the Dynamic Island animations. For example, if you exit the Clock app with the timer turned on, the recorded time will instantly be displayed on the notch. A long press on the Dynamic Island interactive area opens an application widget through which you can control the player, calls and other functions.
