It’s Election Day in the United States, and Apple News has added a feature that can make Election Day coverage a Live Activity. You can enable it in the News application. If you turn this on, it will give you updates in the Dynamic Island (on iPhone devices that support it) throughout the day and hopefully let you avoid spending time in front of the news.

It’s tempting to keep the news on during an election for minute-by-minute updates, but I discourage that. As a US citizen, as long as you have voted, you’ve done your part. Instead, go do something productive, fun, or take a nap.

If you feel compelled to follow the election, however, this Live Activity gives you an option that won’t be as intrusive to your day.
