As part of today’s update for the well-known Reddit software Apollo, which included support for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, creator Christian Selig also added a cute little feature: a “tamagotchi” for the Dynamic Island.
The latest iPhone models’ Dynamic Island region has a little new species thanks to the app update. The little creature merely marches around the Dynamic Island while you explore Reddit, and it can be configured to look like a cat, dog, hedgehog, fox, or axolotl.
The most recent version of the app includes an opt-in option for Apollo called “Dynamic Island Zoo.” In order to allow individuals who do not own an iPhone with a Dynamic Island to still add a critter to their device, Selig has also added the little critters as Lock Screen widgets.
Okay y’all, I think I found the best idea for the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro. I added a cat that lives up there like a tamagotchi and just hangs out and does cute stuff as you browse Reddit in my app (Apollo). pic.twitter.com/xJJlazHH4E

A number of other Reddit-related widgets are now accessible to iOS 16 users thanks to an upgrade to Apollo that added iOS 16 support earlier this week.
