The Live Activities rolled out by Apple since iOS 16.1 allow users to follow a live event on their lock screen and in the Dynamic Island for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Currently, few apps support this feature, but the few apps that have taken the initiative to do so really make a difference in use!
Uber will add Live Activities
Remember, it’s June 2022 at WWDC and Apple is bringing us the revolutionary new update which is called “iOS 16”. In the list of novelties mentioned by the Californian giant, we find the Live Activities which are presented as a major novelty to come to follow an event in real time from our iPhone. In the announcement, Apple highlights support for the Nike Run Club, Starbucks and Uber apps. Three very popular apps that everyone knows around the world!
What is quite surprising today is thatnone of these applications does not offer an update to integrate the Live Activities, even if we know that the development is in progress and that it will happen soon.
Towards an imminent appearance on Uber’s applications?
It seems that Uber and Uber Eats prepare themselves to provide Live Activities, which is great news. A display of the feature can be found in the Settings menus of both apps thanks to updates made in November. Neither of the two apps has yet made this feature available to the general public when ordering a VTC or a meal, so we can deduce that a Uber employee test is in progress to check if everything is stable and if the real-time refresh is reliable.
In addition to showing information on the lock screen, Uber should also support the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. What data will be displayed? Impossible to know for now, but like other apps, Uber and Uber Eats will have to To sort on what information will be included in the Dynamic Island, as space is very limited!
Flighty, FotMob, Sports Alerts, Citymapper, ParkMobile, and CARROT Weather are just some of the popular third-party apps that already provide Live Activities. Starting with iOS version 16.2 (which is currently in development and will be released at the end of the month), Apple’s TV app will also enable live activities for select sporting events in the United States.
