Live Activity
During a workout your phone spends most of its time locked. The Live Activity puts the state of the session — current exercise, set number, rest remaining — on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, so checking it costs a glance rather than an unlock.
Live, not a notification
The rest countdown ticks on the lock screen itself. It is the same timer as the one in the app, not a copy that drifts.
It ends when the workout does
Finishing or abandoning the session clears it. A stale Live Activity from a workout you finished two hours ago is a bug, not a feature, and is treated as one.
Questions
- Is this Android too?
- The lock-screen surface is iOS. Android gets an ongoing notification with the same information.
- Does it drain the battery?
- It runs only for the length of the workout and is torn down when the session ends.
