What triggers Live Activities on my lock screen?
Unless you turn of Live Activities or experience a bug, you'll see a Live Activity on your lock screen when you start a sleep timer or a nursing timer, and after you log sleep or feeding.
.
Can I turn on/off Live Activities for specific categories?
Yes, navigate to our in-app settings and under the “Live Activities” section, turn on/off the specific category you want to track with Live Activities.
Why do my Live Activities display a 24hr format instead of 12hr AM/PM?
If you'd like to change your time display, navigate to the in-app settings and change the time format toggle to 12hr.
Note: If it’s already in 12hr format, please re-toggle it by tapping the 24hr toggle and then reselecting the 12hr toggle. It should now display the live activities in the 12hr format.
Does Live Activities work without wifi?
Yes, Live Activities should be supported in offline mode.
Does Live Activities support multiple timers for multiple children?
Yes, Live Activities should differentiate between child profiles as well as having a collapsed view when you run multiple timers at the same time.
Does Live Activities work with Dynamic Island?
Yes, we support Dynamic Island.
What’s the difference between a Widget and Live Activity?
Widgets are mini versions of your app that live on the phone home-screen until you decide to remove them, and they are not related to any live events. Live Activities act as push notifications related to live events and display real-time data on your lock screen.
Is Live Activities available on iPad?
No, Live Activities are not currently supported on iPad. For updates on future device compatibility and improvements, please keep an eye on our official announcements and release notes.
