VisibleIsland Tweak for iOS: Install Guide & Dynamic Island Settings explained
Dynamic Island is one of the most sought-after features on older iPhones. That's why tools like misakaX are gaining a lot of attention, as they allow users to enable this feature on all devices by tweaking system settings. However, there are some downsides, which can be easily fixed with a jailbreak tweak like VisibleIsland.
Visible Island Repo: Where to Find and Install
The VisibleIsland tweak is available for download through the private ethxnn88 Repository. To get the tweak for free, you just need to add the official repository to your preferred package manager. Keep in mind that VisibleIsland supports only iOS 16 and modifies the system's built-in Dynamic Island settings.
Why use VisibleIsland?
VisibleIsland is a free jailbreak tweak that brings Dynamic Island to all iOS 16 – 16.6.1 devices, with customization options. One of its most popular features is the ability to adjust the Y-position of Dynamic Island, making it especially useful for devices with a notch. You can lower down the Dynamic Island.
Dynamic Island, introduced with iOS 16 for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, transforms the pill-shaped cutout at the top of the screen (which holds the front camera and Face ID sensors) into an interactive area. It displays notifications, real-time updates, and other background activities.
VisibleIsland tweak brings a new and simple way to enable and configure Dynamic Island on older devices running iOS 16. The tweak is compatible with iOS versions 16.0 through 16.6.1, whether using rootless or roothide (Bootstrap + Serotonin). It also works with the latest Dopamine Jailbreak.
Top Features of the VisibleIsland Tweak for iPhone
I really like how VisibleIsland offers so many customization options for Dynamic Island. One of my favorite features is the ability to use "fake" offsets, where you can adjust the position by mimicking the resolution of a device with a similar notch. It makes finding the perfect placement super easy.
"Fake" offset devices
- iPhone XR
- iPhone 11
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone 13 Mini
- iPhone 13 Pro Max
After installing the tweak, you’ll find a new preference pane in the Settings app. From there, you can tweak everything to your liking. I love that you can toggle Dynamic Island on or off with just a switch and even adjust its position so it sits perfectly under the notch. This way it looks and feels natural on all iPhones.
You can also customize the X and Y offsets, hide Dynamic Island when it’s not in use, and even set the transparency or color just how you want it. It’s great that VisibleIsland also lets you move notification banners below the island for better visibility. Plus, you can resize the Dynamic Island to any scale that suits you.
The level of control this tweak gives is awesome. VisibleIsland has become my favorite tweak to customize Dynamic Island on iOS 16. So far this is my must-have tweak on RootHide Bootstrap + Serotonin.

VisibleIsland Updates: More Dynamic Island Settings
With the release of VisibleIsland 2.0, some great new features were introduced. The developer focused on giving even more control over how Dynamic Island settings. One notable improvement is a bug fix that addresses the flickering and shaking of Dynamic Island when the "hide when not in use" option is enabled.
In this version, you can now customize the color of Dynamic Island, hide its outline, adjust its scale, and set a custom transparency to suit your preferences. The added control makes it even easier to personalize Dynamic Island and create a cleaner, more polished look. Updated to version 2.0 is recommended for all!
