Apple has released a Live Activities widget within its Apple News app that will offer real-time election updates directly on your iPhone or iPad’s Home Screen and Lock Screen. This feature, which Apple calls 'Live Activities,' was introduced with the release of iOS 16 in 2022 and can be useful for widgets that point to current information, like news, stocks, or weather. The widget will display the real-time electoral count updates as they come in from across the U.S. states.
