4. Enabling All Apps & Auto-Adding New Apps

  1. Tap the Enable all apps card at the top of the list.
  2. Toggle the main switch to enable Hyper Island for all apps in the current list simultaneously.

    • Add new apps automatically: When toggled on, whenever you install a new app from Google Play or an APK, Hyper Bridge will automatically enable dynamic island bridging for it without requiring you to return to settings.
