The interactive feature presents real-time information from apps directly on the iPhone Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (on supported models). For example, a food delivery application can display order status and estimated arrival time without requiring the user to unlock their device or navigate within the app itself.
The implementation offers enhanced convenience and efficiency by surfacing critical, time-sensitive data proactively. This capability streamlines information access, reduces user effort, and provides timely updates, contributing to a more seamless and informed mobile experience. The functionality evolved from prior notification systems, offering a more persistent and readily accessible information display.
