The official NBA app for iPhone was updated last week with support for Live Activities, allowing live game scores to be viewed at a glance.


Live Activities is an iOS 16 feature that makes it easier to stay up to date with real-time events, such as a sports game or food delivery order. During an NBA game, a banner on the iPhone lock screen displays the live score, quarter time, remaining time and other relevant information. The score is also displayed in Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro models.

Apple’s TV app already offered live activity support for NBA games, and now the feature is available through the NBA app. The official MLB app was also updated with support for live activities earlier this month, and it was announced last week that the NCAA March Madness app would be added support for function too. Other apps like Sports Alerts offer live activity integration for multiple sports leagues.

The Dynamic Island is rumored to expand to standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models later this year. Users can long press on the dynamic island to open an expanded view with additional information for live activities.

The NBA app is available on the App Store. Apple has allowed third-party apps to support Live Activities since the release of iOS 16.1 in October.
