Live Activities are a great way to keep up with your upcoming orders, sports matches, and more. This new take on notifications was first introduced with the release of iOS 16 and it aims to revamp how notifications are delivered to your iPhone. Any app delivering live data can take advantage of Live Activities with many popular uses being tracking pending orders, scores in an ongoing match, weather data, upcoming streams, and much more.
