Apple News will use Live Activities to track election results live on iPhone


If you're not feeling plugged in enough during the 2024 election, Apple News has a way to get up-to-the-second results on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch through Live Activities.

So, the Lock Screen will have a large, interactive widget that will launch to the latest election coverage, and the Dynamic Island will show the electoral count for each candidate continuously. Of course, users can dismiss the Dynamic Island content with a swipe without closing the Live Activity, which might help preserve some sense of sanity for a moment. While the stakes are much higher for the actual election, the tool will be an excellent way to quickly view immediate results while staying away from polarizing news coverage.
