🟡 Flight tracking, right from your Lock Screen.
2Flights now supports iOS Live Activities — giving you real-time flight updates on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (for supported iPhones).
Whether you're in the airport, in the air, or waiting for a friend to land, Live Activities in 2Flights give you instant access to your flight details without even unlocking your phone.
✈️ What Does the Live Activity Show?
Each flight’s Live Activity is packed with helpful, real-time information, including:
- ⏳ Time remaining until scheduled departure or arrival
- 📍 Origin and destination airport codes
- 🔢 Gate number (if available)
- 🪑 Seat assignment
- 🎯 Arrival countdown
- 🎒 Baggage claim info (if available after landing)
Live Activities update automatically throughout the flight. No manual refresh needed.
🕒 When Does It Start?
No need to tap anything.
Live Activities in 2Flights start automatically for tracked flights 3 hours before scheduled gate departure time.
You’ll see the activity appear on your Lock Screen and, if supported, in the Dynamic Island — showing you exactly what you need at just the right time.
🔁 How Often Does It Update?
Your flight’s Live Activity updates automatically in real-time, including:
- Gate changes
- Departure and arrival time adjustments
- Flight status (e.g., delayed, landed)
- Baggage claim info post-landing
Best of all? It works even with limited in-flight Wi-Fi (like airline text messaging plans), so you can stay updated at 30,000 feet.
👥 Friend Flights Are Supported Too
Yes — 2Flights also supports Live Activities for your friends' flights, if they choose to share them.
- See their departure countdown
- Follow their arrival progress
- Know when they land — automatically
Perfect for coordinating pickups, airport meetups, or just staying in sync.
🔒 You're In Control
You can disable Live Activities at any time in your 2Flights settings.
Flight visibility and friend sharing is opt-in and fully private by default.
🧭 Why It Matters
Live Activities bring a smoother, more helpful travel experience — whether you're:
- At the gate trying to find your seat
- Mid-air and checking arrival time
- Picking up a friend and tracking their landing
It’s your flight, your screen, and your timeline — with no taps required.
