We are excited about the new Live Updates feature in Android 16, which is designed to help users keep track of ongoing notifications, such as those from ride-sharing or food delivery apps. This feature has been available on iPhone for a while now, so it’s great to see it coming to Android.
Thanks to Android Authority, we are getting a preview of how these notifications will work on Android 16, and they look promising. The ProgressStyle notification template will be available for notifications like ride share status, food deliveries, and navigation activities.
With Live Updates, notifications can update in real time, allowing users to track the progress of their orders or rides. This feature will be useful for apps like Lyft, Uber, UberEats, fitness apps, and even Domino’s Tracker.
Overall, Live Updates in Android 16 will provide a more interactive and engaging user experience for ongoing activities.
