Dynamic Tab Bar (001)

by Guille Aznar

The same way that iOS live activities give us updates from apps running in the background, wouldn’t it be great if an app could show ongoing activity from a specific tab while you navigate the rest of it? Apps like Spotify use a miniplayer above the tab bar, which works well since all three tabs (Home, Search, Library) relate to the primary activity—playing music or podcasts. However, when information is specific to one tab, we could utilise the space of the icon to display live information. A simple yet powerful solution that, at the same time, doesn’t require taking extra real-estate from the screen. (you just need to be sure you won’t need a 4th tab in the future lol)
