The app update adds a small creature to the area above Dynamic Island on new iPhone models. It can be customized as a cat, dog, hedgehog, fox or axolotl and the little creature just walks around Dynamic Island while you browse Reddit. The new “Dynamic Island Zoo” option for Apollo is enabled and available with the latest version of the app. Selig has also added the little critters as lock screen widgets, so those who don’t have an iPhone with Dynamic Island can also add a critter to their device. Ok, I think I found the best idea for Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro. I added a cat that lives up there like a tamagotchi and just hangs out and does cute things as you browse reddit in my app (Apollo). pic.twitter.com/xJJlazHH4E — Christian Selig (@ChristianSelig) September 16, 2022 Earlier this week, Apollo was updated with iOS 16 support, so there are also a number of other Reddit-related widgets available for those using the iOS 16 operating system. You can download Apollo from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]
