United becomes first U.S. airline to add Live Activities for iPhone
United Airlines on Monday became the first U.S. airline to add Live Activities for iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, giving customers real-time access to their boarding pass, gate and seat number, and departure time countdown clock on their lock screen or while unlocked, all without opening the United app.
United customers check their mobile boarding pass and flight status nearly 800,000 times each day, and this new feature makes it even easier and faster for United flyers to receive timely updates and find important flight details.

“We’re seeing soaring demand for travel this summer, and Live Activities puts all the flight information you need right at your fingertips, whether your iPhone is locked or you’re doing something else like checking email, listening to music or texting friends,” said Linda Jojo, Chief Customer Officer for United.
Support for Live Activities has started to roll out to United travelers and will be widely available by the end of May. To experience the new features, customers should verify that their iPhone is running iOS 16.1 or later and their United app is up to date.
