iOS 16.1 was released in September with support for Live Activities in third-party apps. This feature allows iPhone users to stay up to date with real-time events, such as a sports game or food delivery order, right on the lock screen. Live activities are also displayed in the dynamic island on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
In June, Apple previewed live activity support for Uber, Starbucks, and Nike Run Club, but we’re still waiting for those apps to roll out the feature.
Thankfully, it looks like Uber and Uber Eats are now gearing up to support live business. Both apps were updated in November and now show a Live Activities toggle in their respective menus in the Settings app. The feature isn’t yet functional for public use in either app, but Uber may be testing internally.
Live activities will make it easier to track the status of an Uber ride or Uber Eats delivery on the lock screen or in the dynamic island. There’s still no timeline for the feature to launch in these apps, but support is clearly on the way.
Other popular third-party apps that support live activity include Flighty for flight tracking, FotMob for World Cup scores, Sports Alerts for sports scores, Citymapper for public transport, ParkMobile for parking and CARROT Weather for weather forecasts. Apple’s TV app will also support live activities for select sports games starting with iOS 16.2, which is currently in beta and expected to be released later this month.
