Apple introduced the Live Activities feature when it launched iOS 16. With this, many apps have added the Live Activities features to their platform. Now, Instagram is reportedly testing Live Activities feature for its iOS devices.
How Live Activities feature work
The Live Activities feature shows real-time information on the Lock Screen on Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max devices. Now, Instagram is taking advantage of this feature to show upload progress in the background to users when they close the app.
As reported by 9to5Mac, Instagram now shows Live Activities when the app is closed while uploading a new photo or video. This way, users can be sure that the upload worked without having to check the Instagram app again after closing it. In addition, the Live Activities feature on Instagram works on both Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. This means users can see a small preview of the content being uploaded, along with the upload progress.
While Instagram is yet to officially reveal support for Live Activities, the feature is currently accessible to select users. Hence, it is anticipated that the company is testing the feature before rolling it out to everyone.
Uber redesigns app with Live Activities feature
Earlier this year, Uber added the Live Activities on the iOS version of the app. With Live Activities on the lock screen, riders can easily track the live progress of their ride and receive critical updates like vehicle details, the latest ETA information, and trip status – all on the Lock Screen without opening the app.
