This post is from the WWDC26 Audio Q&A.

My macOS app provides real-time microphone level monitoring, and I also have a macOS widget that shows recent audio level status.

Since WidgetKit widgets are snapshot/timeline based rather than continuously live SwiftUI views, is there any new capability in macOS 27 that allows a widget to show more responsive or animated audio-level changes?

If true real-time animation is still not supported in widgets, what is Apple’s recommended approach for displaying frequently changing signal levels, such as audio meters, in a macOS widget?

Hi @patgov ,

Thanks for reaching out!

Since this is about WidgetKit capabilities, it would be best answered by their team. I'm looping someone in to reply to you shortly.

Thank you for your patience.
