Live Activities

This document guides you through integrating Live Activities in your iOS application using the Adobe Journey Optimizer Messaging extension.

Live Activities display up-to-date information from your app on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, helping users stay informed about events or tasks in real time. With the Messaging extension, you can register your app's Live Activity types so that Adobe Journey Optimizer can remotely start and update Live Activities via push notifications.

Live Activities are supported on iOS 16.1 and above. Push-to-start support requires iOS 17.2 or newer, and broadcast push support requires iOS 18 or newer.
