how can i customize dynamic island

Is there a way to customize the dynamic island? It is so ugly, a big black eyesore on my phone. I have a really pretty sunrise photo as my wallpaper, the colors are pastel pink and purple and if I could at least customize the color to match it would help. I don't want a huge black pill shaped object at the top of my phone.


The fact that we can't disable it entirely is also aggravating. Apple always pushes these unwanted features on us, they should at least give us the option to disable them if we wish.


And I have submitted a feedback request so no need to suggest that. Thanks.

Mpet ~ No, there isn't a way to customize the dynamic island. And it can't be disabled entirely because it contains the TrueDepth camera, Infrared camera, & dot projector:

Oh the problems we must endure living in the First World !!! 😱


FWIW, phone manufacturers ARE rumoured to be attempting to make Camera Systems — and Fingerprint Readers — which work reliably “thru the screen”


FYI, you can have an Island-Free screen on an iPhoneSE.
