[cflem]

It doesn't even go fullscreen on iPadOS.

insanity... I mean - that would take like 10 seconds for apple to set up.

Unrelated to the content of this article, but I despise those huge margins on the iPad Home Screen.

Can anyone confirm what triggers the widget to update.

Right now the times on the champions league matches are behind. I have to press the widget to open the app to then see the widget update.

Is the widget supposed to be live?

I love the live activities and use it on my phone. It works great for me. Once in a while it doesn't update right away but over all I really like it. Also, I would really like the ability to reorder the live activities on my phone to put a more important game (to me) on the top since they activities will stack until you tap them. Those are my only two complaints. It seems the widget would be useful on my iPa

i found them too much, blowing up your phone with every single score change and taking over the dynamic island etc. a simple widget that has the updates there when you want to check seems like a happier medium.

Why is the widget the size of a small house?

Dont have a live example yet, but close to live score updates in the widget are what I would expect too. If it can't do that then that is no bueno.

There are several different size widget options. Square to large rectangles.

Widget is very delayed in updating.

Good to see it in more countries. Expanding at a very slow pace. Not yet in my country and don’t think it will be arriving anytime soon.
