iOS16 Lock Screen Widgets & Live Activities 3rd party Apps

[pacorob]

I noticed that there wasn't yet an iOS 16 Lock Screen Widgets & Live Activities 3rd party Apps topic which is why I created this. For the official Lock Screen Widgets from Apple see this post.
This is a Wiki topic so please go ahead and add the apps for which you know they are developing Lock Screen widget and/or Live Activities support. Do however post that you added a certain app and include a link to the tweet, website, TestFlight of the developer that specifies the feature is being tested or expected.

12 September: There are a lot of app updates in recent days within the App Store to support the Lock Screen Widgets. Currently there are already 340+ apps (and counting) that I know of that support it and are soon in the App Store or already in the App Store.

In regards to Live Activities, it was announced by Apple that it would not be in the official iOS 16 launch, but would be included in a later update. Apple Developer site:

Live Activities and ActivityKit won’t be included in the initial publicly released version of iOS 16 but will be publicly available in an update later this year. Once they’re publicly available, you can submit your apps with Live Activities to the App Store.

Lock Screen Live Activities:​

To get the MLB and NBA alerts, do you need to have those specific apps installed? Or is it baked into iOS?

I'm uncertain to be honest although the developer pages do talk about third party apps and no mentioning about Apple's own Apple News and Apple TV+ apps which might support it as well since they (will) include Sports (scores) and uncertain if this can work together with Siri (I think it should be possible when reading from another topic on the MLB and NBA matter).

I have several of those apps installed, and yet when I go to choose a new widget, all I see are the stock Apple ones. What is going wrong?

Have you installed the TestFlight version of the app which also specified in their TestFlight that it includes lock screen widget / live activities support? Versions in the App Store can’t yet include iOS16 support. Besides that I suppose you do have latest iOS16 beta installed? For Live Activities you need the latest beta.

 

[Deep.sky]

Ahhhhh, I do not have the TestFlight variant of the apps installed. Makes total sense now that you explain it! Thank you

 

[cdf1982]

Hi! It's great to have a resource listing apps that include Lock Screen widgets on iOS 16!

I hope it's okay if I add my own app... Link HUB is my iOS / iPadOS and macOS URL scheme dashboard and launcher with NFC support.

For iOS 16, I'm adding Lock Screen widgets and regular widgets (I know, I'm a bit late with those... but I try to make amends for being late making them really good and high density .

The beta is open on TestFlight and I would love you to join!

A few screenshots to give you an idea of this update and evaluate if you're interested...

Hi everyone, amazing list here! Wanted to share that i've wrapped up adding Lock Screen Widgets for Focused Work today, which is a powerful timer app that helps you have super productive days.

A no-brainer to include and was highly requested! Will definitely be adding Live Activity support once the iOS 16 stuff is wrapped too.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1523968394
Website: https://focusedwork.app

Can't wait for iOS 16 release week next week!

Thanks I've added your app to the TS for the lock screen widgets. Is it already part of a TestFight version (if available in testFlight)? When you add Live Activity support in TestFlight I will also add it to the list there.

I''ve read that thé best weather app will also add Lock Screen Widgets:

- Carrot Weather (App Store, website) by Grailr LLC

 

[dannyyankou]

I just thought, parking apps would be a natural fit for live activities. It would be great to see how much time is on your meter from the lockscreen

 

[whileago]

Foreca Weather by Foreca has also added new Lock Screen Widgets for iOS 16, according to the latest release notes.
App Store

Though I don't think I can edit the wiki post ✍️

That would be a good one indeed for Live Activities when this feature becomes available later this year.

Thank you for mentioning that one. I will add it to the list. Currently I have about 127 apps that are either already updated in the App Store or soon will be updated. See also the AppRaven link for easy download of the apps. I will update the list ASAP here as well.

I've tried downloading Lockify but AppAirport logs in but then shows me logged out in a constant loop. Is this site legit?

 

[Feenix]

Any cool ones for a hockey team’s score? Free or very low cost, preferably.

 

[Outdoordude01]

I'm not seeing any 3rd party widget options on the lock screen; only the default Apple ones so far.

 

[Messier77]

I have several of those apps installed, and yet when I go to choose a new widget, all I see are the stock Apple ones. What is going wrong?

Having the same issue.

Also having this issue.

 

[Synomenon]

When I try to add lock screen widgets, I'm not seeing Carrot in the list at all. I've updated it, launched it and rebooted my phone.

 

[seanwithoutanh]

I ran into the same issue with apps I updated earlier today (in iOS15), though I'm seeing widgets for apps I installed post-iOS16-upgrade. Your mileage may vary but I had some luck offloading the apps through Settings-General-iPhone Storage then reinstalling (that preserves all the data, logins, etc.) Worked for Carrot, Fantastical and Overcast.
