Live Activities are awesome!!!

Perhaps re the TV app. We’ll see if a setting switch returns there or was just there for the betas where it was being tested. However the Face ID setting is not to activate it across iOS. It is to allow it to be viewed when your phone is locked. That’s a subtle but significant difference.

Okay that's fine. But a google search shows the TV app has the setting during the betas. Since their TV app has live scores you would think it should be supported. Time will tell.

What app were you using to follow the Packer game (read: embarrassment if you’re a Packer fan like I am )

Sports Alert. Just long pressed that game and the Live Activity option popped up and its on the lock screen. DI is not supported on my 13 pro max
 
Live activities on the Sports Alert app works very well. Watching the Sixers-Pacers and within seconds of scoring the lock screen updates... awesome. Come on ESPN CBSSports and Apple TV get on board!
 
BTW: This was part of MacRumors post earlier about 16.1 under live activities for the Apple TV app.

This feature was working in earlier iOS 16.1 betas, but reader Alec Cohen informed us that it is disabled in the iOS 16.1 Release Candidate, so this might not launch until later.

Currently using sports alerts app. Viewing Miami heat vs Toronto raptors. This is awesome. Even if you close the app score stays on the island. From whatever screen etc. Love this. Hurry up bleacher report/espn. This with AOD is it. Score updating on the always on display while you are doing something else. Restaurant. Bar. Etc. This is really nice. No need to tap screen to turn on or view widget.

Yeah wish my 13 pro max had AOD. That eliminates the screen tap.
 
Didn’t know you can have multiple live activities in the Lock Screen. Sports Alert set for Sixers and MNF. Awesome
 
Anyways to show two games on AOD on Lock Screen. I click and it shows the bulls and bears but then it stacks them together. I tried to turn off notification grouping as well.
 
Do you have to go per game to set this up? Or can you have it on by default for a particular team?

Watching Heat vs. Raptors as well. It stopped updating for a while until I turned off the Live Activity then turned it on again within the app.

In sports alert go to the game listing you’re interested in. Long press on it and a pop up should show Live Activities. For multiple just repeat

Anyone got the Carrot weather live activity working? I can't work out how you enable it?

Yep. Strangely as I go to reply to this it's working... Seems you need to be in the app when there's rain due then I got a notification to say it would now show as a LA when I leave the app
 
Meh, Can't believe OneFootball doesn't have this the first day. They always have such a good score notifications that's very up-to-date as well.. 😞
