But before that, Apple did not open the development permissions of Lingdong Island, which also led to the phenomenon that many software cannot adapt. Currently, iOS 16.1 is in beta testing phase, which includes support for real-time active APIs. This API allows developers to add real-time notifications to the lock screen interface or Lingdong Island. Apple has now released a full live event design guide that outlines the specifications for developers to add live event in their apps. Apple officially lists the following requirements:

· Tasks with defined start and ending and real-time events provide real-time activities.

· Only the most important content is presented.

· Update real-time activities only when new content is available, and remind users only when attention must be drawn.

· Avoid displaying sensitive information in real-time activities.

· Avoid using real-time activities to display ads or promotions.

· Let users control the start and end real-time activities.

· Make sure that the app will be opened in the correct location after clicking on the live activity.

· Consider removing real-time activity from the lock screen after the lock screen is over.

· Ensures unified information and design for compact demonstrations in dynamic islands.

· Create a consistent layout between compact and extended presentations.

· Consider using a consistent design in lock screens and extended presentations.

· Adapt to different screen sizes and real-time event demonstrations.

· Please consider carefully before using custom background colors and opacity on the lock screen.

· Coordinate the rounded corner radius of the content with the rounded corner radius of the real-time activity.

· Use standard margins to ensure that the content is clear and easy to read.

· Choose the color suitable for personalized lock screen.

· Supports dark mode and constant display.

· Use animation with caution only to attract attention to content updates.

For this reason, Apple also provides three different designs needed to create real-time activities. Real-time activities of third-party apps will be launched this fall with the official version of iOS 16.1. The update is currently available in developers and public beta testing.

Editor's comment: Although many people complain that Lingdong Island is of no use, Apple is designed for better services in terms of Lingdong Island and interactive experience, so that Lingdong Island can be more convenient and intuitive in practical applications, and reduce the interference of other factors on the actual experience.
