(Note that this is just while boarding - I'd never try it pre-boarding as there's just too big a chance someone will take the other seats and I'd get stuck in the middle)

So you don't actually change your seat on the app (I assume it would be too late). You just sit in the middle seat in hopes that no one decides to move over to the aisle (from their assigned seat?)
If I were directly across from you and in the middle, as soon as the door closes, I'd just move over and take the empty aisle seat.
If you were still seated in the middle, I'd ask if you could move over.
If i were in the window/aisle, I'd encourage the middle person to move.
