by The exclusive MLB app for iPhone now supports Live Activities after an update rolled out yesterday. With Live Activities, MLB users can follow their favorite teams without ever having to open the app, watching the scores directly from the lock screen.
On iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, scores can also be tracked via Dynamic Island. After updating to the latest version of the app, users can select the “Track” option from the list of games to add the updated score to the lock screen and Dynamic Island‌.
Live Action for MLB games was already offered through Apple’s TV app, but until this week, the MLB app itself didn’t support the feature. Live Activities have been available for third-party apps since the November 16.1 release of iOS. Since MLB works with Apple for content, it’s unclear why it took so long to implement the feature.
The MLB app was updated for the 2023 season yesterday, and in addition to support for Live Activities, the app now includes a new onboarding experience, a Watch tab with 24/7 programming available, 2023 team schedules and tickets, a revamped scores page and more .
The MLB app can be downloaded for free from the App Store, but a subscription is required to unlock all content. Access to each non-market game costs $24.99 per month or $150 for the year. [Direct Link]
Friday Night Baseball games will continue on Apple TV+ when the 2023 season begins. The first games are scheduled to premiere on Friday, April 7, with the Texas Rangers playing the Chicago Cubs and the San Diego Padres playing the Atlanta Braves.
