The Live Activities function is simple to understand and simplify the steps for users to obtain information and simplify the operation. The lock screen notification is no longer displayed one by one, but scrolls in turn at the bottom, or it can be set to display only the number of notifications, so that the view of the lock screen wallpaper is not affected.

With the new Live Activities API, you can set notifications to display custom content and update automatically, such as dynamically viewing game scores, taxi itineraries, etc., as well as controlling music playback, full-screen display of album pictures, etc.
