You can track the current 2024 presidential elections right on your iPhone and iPad Lock Screen using Live Activity. Let me show you how.

Follow the 2024 Elections from Your iPhone and iPad Lock Screen as a Live Activity Using the News App

A lot of people follow the elections, and if you are too, and happen to own an iPhone or iPad, then you will be pleased to learn that you can follow the 2024 presidential elections in the United States using Live Activity.

Setting it up is super duper easy, too. All you need is the News app and just one tap to make everything work.

Once you’re into the News app on both your iPhone and iPad, you’ll see the ‘Follow the election live’ banner as shown below. Tap on the button next to it, and the Live Activity will show up on your Lock Screen.

The Live Activity will stay there as long as the election is happening and the vote count is complete.

Live Activity is not limited to just one thing and works across a ton of apps and services. For example, if you are posting something to Instagram and you swipe the app away into the background, you’ll see the progress of the upload on the Lock Screen.

Needless to say, Live Activity is an amazing feature that lets you follow and track things without having to needlessly open a particular app over and over again.
