Does someone want to tell Apple that other countries around the world, besides the US, have discovered and enjoy sport?

I want live activities for teams I want to follow, but any time you add a specific team in the Sports App, it also adds that team to the Apple News app and somehow you end up with Apple News Notifications for sports. I DON'T WANT news notifications for general sports but no matter what your notification settings are in the News app, you will always get random sports news. I thought I had cracked the code before, but immediately after this app update installed--BOOM--sports news notifications.

You can turn this off in the News app by going to Following and scrolling to the bottom. If you tap Email and Notifications there are settings there to disable Sports updates via the News app.

It's not intuitive in the least.

Yeah, I've had that setting OFF for Sports for a long time and the notifications continue...

However, I still get them from the TV App for my favorite Teams. It is just the game start notifications though.

I want to be able to turn that off.

Good to know but waiting for the app to be made available outside the US and support other sports too.

FA Cup, League Cup & the English Championship is a very welcomed addition to the app, that was my biggest complaint.
I like the app and this will make it much better.

 

[kamyk35]

how about they make the app available outside the US..

It is.
I use it in the UK and Canada as far as I know, is outside of the USA 😊

Scores during games. If you're watching, you have around a 30s delay but the app will deliver a score update immediately. Not one of life's biggest problems, but annoying while you're watching a game.

Only if you have live updates switched on for that particular game, they're easily disabled or enabled for individual games and you have to do it manually....so I suspect you probably don't use the app eh?

 

[kamyk35]

I'm pretty sure when I disabled live activities I was still getting score notifications.

Nah

Still no Leauge 1 or 2 , pathetic. until you add that apple , we will all use FOTMOB. which is a FAR better.

Apple Sports App is not available on Android Phones 😆
