Apple News is making it easier than ever to stay updated on the 2024 U.S. election with real-time results on your iPhone lock screen and Apple Watch.
For those wanting real-time election insights without needing to dive into apps, Apple News is rolling out Live Activities for the 2024 U.S. election. Originally developed to enhance the Dynamic Island with quick-glance information, Live Activities has brought live updates on sports, music, and now, election results.
Real-time results on your lock screen and Apple Watch
Starting on election night, users can set up a Live Activity in Apple News to receive real-time updates on electoral vote counts. The lock screen widget on iPhone offers a direct link to comprehensive election coverage. iPhones with the Dynamic Island will continuously display updates at the top, whereas those without one will display them at the bottom of the lock screen.
