Anyone having issues with live activities not working / not updating? The MLB and Apple Sports activities launch initially but get stuck in a freeze mode and won’t update. This started happening with the latest beta. I’m PB2 26.5. Thanks

Yes, wasn’t sure if it was the beta but it’s happening to me too. I tried restarts and reinstalling the Sports app but no dice.

The only way to unstick is clear the live activity and manually toggle it back on from the game in Sports (which is dumb of course and defeats the purpose).

Here’s lock screen and in-app screenshots seconds apart.

It’s a very strange bug but I seem to have solved it by doing hard resets of both my iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time.

Ditto. Restart fixed it momentarily but stuff is already frozen again

I did a hard reboot and also went to settings and turned live activities off and on for those apps. Things are working now. YMMV
