Is this something that needs to be enabled within those apps or is it supposed to „just work“ but in many instances it does not work and people forget it’s even a thing?
Got a tip for us?

Lmao, I’m not getting my hopes up again.
I remember Apple announcing on their keynote that Uber would support rich notifications to show driver and map. That never happened.
I bet this will happen again. They got their publicity on that keynote yet again.
They played us like a fiddle!
Also, it would be great if we had the option (per app, I suppose) to have automatic live activities pop up. Like when a sports game starts with a favourite team, you can allow it to just begin automatically instead of having to open the app first. Maybe they'll do that down the road because that would be awesome.
They pushed through an update yesterday that supports live activities for soccer. Works for me, though I prefer using FotMob app instead.
ESPN's app, ironically, has always been the worst. You think there'd be a paid option with no ads, too.
Sports scores live activities for the News app should have been a no-brainer. Having them only available with the TV app where TV sports rights are different around the world was just dumb e.g. no Premier League scores in the UK because the TV rights holders are different here.
Good lord apps are getting expensive. $450 lifetime “membership” (I guess apps are clubs now) for a flight tracker app?? What cheek!
