CTOnews.com With the official release of iOS 16.1 this week, Apple has launched live events-more third-party apps that can provide useful information. With the "real-time activity" feature, users can keep abreast of the latest information on commonly used apps. Without unlocking your device, follow the taxi arrival time, the latest game score, or the next alarm on the lock screen. On the iPhone 14 Pro, the "Live Activity" message also appears on Smart Island if the device is unlocked.

With iOS 16.2 Beta released to developers on Tuesday, Apple will give users the option to refresh "live activity" more frequently.

This new option, currently not enabled in iOS 16.2 Beta, will provide "more frequent refreshes" for "live activity." The code seen by 9to5Mac confirms that when the option is enabled, live activity (and consequent Smart Island interaction) will ask for updates at shorter intervals to show "more live information."

At the same time, the same message found in the code warns that enabling more frequent refreshes for "live activity" will also drain iPhone battery power faster.

More frequent refresh

Allowing more frequent refreshes lets you see more real-time information, but drains battery power faster.

Once available, users can get new options in the Settings app. More frequent refreshes are useful for apps like Flighty, which supports real-time activity to show details about upcoming flights. Delivery and ride-hailing apps will also benefit. Presumably, Apple will make this feature public before the official release of iOS 16.2.

Apple's App Store recently introduced iOS 16 new features, including lock screens, real-time activities, and the first apps to support "real-time activities."
