I feel like this doesn’t work as intended on the Pro Max, at least not with music. With the pro max, none of the status bar icons are hidden in the default music dynamic island configuration. Swiping in switches to the “compact” mode which actually takes up more space and hides the waveform. You can, however, pull and hold to temporarily collapse until you let go.

By contrast, this works as expected on the timer activity, where the countdown usually hides the signal strength indicator but unhides it when collapsed into the compact mode (which only shows the icon).

Oh that is intersting! So maybe this is a Pro 6.1" specific thing to make up for the reduce screen real estate. I have to find someone with a PM to see. Thanks for letting me know.

This was a feature that didn’t work properly before 16.1

Before the update, swiping would remove the album art and waveform but it would expand the size of the island.

Someone with a Pro Max said he can get it to work, but it's redundant for the reason you said. It doesn't expose any extra information. Maybe Try placing you finger on the island and just swipe horizontally across it?

Here’s a look at all the different states I mentioned for both music and timer.

I do believe that there’s supposed to be a compact mode. It just seems to be faulty for music for me.

Becasue you have not updated to 16.1 yet.

I am not seeing the behavior you are. If I do as the OP says, it just disappears, there is no "compact mode". Which is weird, because I remember seeing it before 16.1. Are you on the latest iOS version?

I finally managed to make a quick video if this helps:

One other note. Did you update to 16.1? This may be new.

You might have replied to the wrong person, I was agreeing with you (OP) and can see the behavior you describe. Yes, I'm on 16.1.

Are you on 16.1? I remember encountering this on 16.0.x, but what OP said works for me on 16.1.
