With FotMob, I can get the Live Activity to show on the lock screen, but the scores won't update unless I open the app. Does anyone else find this?
yeah had this issue. I've e-mailed their contact to see if they will update the app
 
I’m not getting Live activities with FotMob. Only notifications of sports scores.

How do I enable them? Or are Live activities only available in the US?

Works in the UK for me. Select a match in the app, and then tap the Star icon in the top right to add it to the lock screen as a live activity. Scores don't seem to be updating unless the app is launched though.

I'm in the US but I don't see any option in FotMob to add a match as a live activity, despite tapping the star icon and having FotMob open.

I am now trying FotMob with live activities. Works great. I am in Germany btw.

I selected a running game. It is Club Brugge against FC Porto at the moment. Not connected to any of them but wanted to see if it works.

I selected the game in FotMob and tabbed on the star icon. Oh, and I have notifications allowed for FotMob. Of course I did not close the app.

In my Homescreen it looks like this now (also with AOD):

The counter is updating very well. Started at 0:0 and I did not touched my phone. I have a browser window with the result open on my Mac to compair it. As far as I saw, the updated more or less at the same time.

In the dynamic island it looks like this:

Very nice! Hope a lot more apps will using live activities!
 
Ok, I guess I give up, lol. Just tried the same match as you, iSuzan and nothing. The match is underway. FotMob is running. I have allowed notifications on it. I have allowed FotMob to bypass my work focus. Nothing.

I am on 16.1 on an older phone--an XR. But Live Activities works fine with Timer and with NFL games through a different app.

I don't get why FotMob won't.
 
I can't get them for FotMob. I followed today's EPL game, (West Ham v Bournemouth) but no sign of them. I have allowed notifications for FotMob in my current focus.

Other than follow a specific game, i there something obvious I need to do?
Go to the game in the app and press the star icon, top right. I’m very happy with it so far
 
So far lock launcher and sports alerts seem to be the most useful live activities.

Still waiting for my workout apps to add live activity functionality.
 
Odd that they show sports scores in all the marketing materials, but there's no good app with sports scores yet.

I know many have mentioned sports alerts. Just want reiterate how awesome this app works- great widgets and works with live activities. Props to the developers who have done what mlb, nhl and espn apparently couldn’t do.
Would love weather but have already paid for carrot and dont feel its worth $30 a year. Hopefully others will add it.
 
What will happen when too many apps are competing for that Island space? Who will colonize the island if it already has someone else occupying it? I see app conflicts coming soon
Important tasks should get priority (like phone calls, audio recording, now playing, etc). After that, Just let us rank a priority list.
 
I know this thread is pretty ancient by now, but I wanted to report that FotMob Live Activities are now working on my XR!

I didn’t do anything different so have no idea why they suddenly became available. But I’m happy about it—I think they work well.
 
I just wanted to follow up to let everyone know that now on top of MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL, Sports Alerts has added Live Activities for NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball!!!

Sports Alerts have just added support for football (soccer). Just tested with the Germany Japan and it is the most reliable I've seen yet with regards to the scores being updated. Fotmob wouldn't update the score for me unless I opened the app.

for me lock launcher has added the most functionality, although I do have to restart it every day. Supposedly there's an auto-launch functionality, but t hasn't been working for me.
