United Live Activities are now available on Apple Watch, making it even easier for travelers to access important, real-time flight details at a glance right from their wrist. This new feature follows the rollout of Live Activities for iPhone last year which is already helping millions of travelers get access to their boarding pass, gate and seat number, and countdown clock to departure in real time on their iPhone Lock Screen or in the Dynamic Island, all without opening the United app.
Here’s how United Live Activities work on Apple Watch:
- Travelers can find Live Activities in the Smart Stack on Apple Watch.
- With a quick glance at their Watch, United fliers can access key flight information in real-time, like countdown to boarding, gate number, seat, baggage carousel and more.
- Fliers will see flight details update on their Apple Watch throughout their travel journey – offering the most relevant details when they need it.
- They can tap the Live Activity notification to open the United app at any time.
United is always looking for ways to leverage technology to improve our customers' travel journey, and this new feature is a game changer for United fliers. Support for Live Activities rolled out to United travelers with Apple Watch running watchOS 11. See here for a visual asset.
