Hi team,
I’m working on an ActivityKit use case where a Live Activity is useful on the Lock Screen, but not in the Dynamic Island.
Today, Live Activities appear to be treated as a unified presentation across system surfaces: Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, StandBy, etc. For our app, the Lock Screen presentation is the right user experience, but showing the same activity in the Dynamic Island creates unnecessary persistent foreground UI while the user is actively using the device.
Is there any supported way to create a Live Activity that appears on the Lock Screen but opts out of Dynamic Island presentation on supported iPhones?
If not, I’d love to request an ActivityKit enhancement that lets developers specify supported presentation destinations for a Live Activity, for example something like:
Lock Screen only
or
Lock Screen + StandBy, but not Dynamic Island
This would be useful for apps where the Live Activity is meant to act as a passive lock-screen status/reminder, rather than an ongoing foreground indicator.
Thanks!
