The latest iOS 16 operating system also includes Live Activities. Specifically, these are some kind of live notifications that can display some data with real-time updates on the lock screen or in Dynamic Island. Specifically, the live activity can display, for example, the status of a sports match, the time until the Uber arrives, the current exercise time and many other things. The great thing is that live activities are also available to third-party developers, so they can use them in their apps too.
