The dedicated MLB app for iPhone now supports live activities following an update introduced yesterday. With Live Activities, MLB users can follow their favorite teams without needing to open the app, keeping track of scores right from the lock screen.


On the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, scores can also be tracked through Dynamic Island. After updating to the latest version of the app, users can choose the “Track” option from the game list to add the updated score to the lock screen and ‌Dynamic Island‌.

Live activities for MLB games were already offered through Apple’s own TV app, but until this week the MLB app itself did not support the feature. Live Activities has been available for third-party apps since the November release of iOS 16.1. Since MLB partners with Apple for content, it’s unclear why it took so long for the feature to be implemented.

The MLB app was updated yesterday for the 2023 season, and in addition to support for live activities, the app now includes a new onboarding experience, a Watch tab with 24/7 programming available , 2023 team schedules and tickets, an updated standings page and more.

The MLB app can be downloaded for free from the App Store, but unlocking all content will require a subscription. Access to each out-of-market game costs $24.99 per month or $150 for the year. [Direct Link]
