On the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, Dynamic Island also shows Live Activities. Uber

We are still awaiting the release of this functionality in these apps, though. Uber

Following updates in November, the respective menus of both apps now include a toggle for Live Activities. Uber

The launch date for the feature in these apps needs to be specified, but it is obvious that support is in the works. Uber
