The drama would give users the chance to take a deep-drive into the drama that's occurring within the Gran Canaria villa, being tasked with trying to figure out where the story would go next in regards to each of the individual islanders, through the use of private texts, video-reels and more. Here, it was confirmed that the app would be launching on the premiere date of the UK's upcoming seventh season of the main show, with pre-orders already being live.

It was also revealed that Love Island's key fashion partner; I Saw It First provided all the clothing for the islanders who took part in the drama.
