Why aren't all Live Activities added automatically to the Lock Screen?

Updated over 8 months ago

Live Activities are usually added automatically to the Lock Screen, but unfortunately we have seen that the background push notifications that are supposed to launch Live Activities have a few system limitations:

  • The max number of Live Activities that Forza is allowed to display may already be reached. This number is changing depending on the system conditions, we have seen everything from 2 to 15.

  • If the device is on low power mode, Live Activities almost never start automatically.

  • If Forza hasn't been launched relatively recently, the system devices is low priority and may not launch the Live Activity.

  • If the app is not running in the background, the Live Activity has lower chances of being launched.

We hope Apple addresses these issues soon or at least offer a way to workaround them in future iOS versions.
