New Apple iPhone, iPad Widget Tracks US Results Live: Here's How
On November 5, Apple launched a live US election tracker widget in its News app for iPhone users with iOS17 and never follow real-time 2024 election updates directly from their home screens.
This widget will automatically refresh with breaking news, state trends, and live insights from the battleground states for users to control the size and placement of their widget, which will update on demand with the latest US election results tracking updates that roll out across the US during Election Day.
How To Enable US Election Results Tracker
Users open the Apple News app and find the banner at the top of the page or in the “Top Stories” section that reads, “Follow the 2024 election live.” If it doesn’t appear instantly, users also can find it in the menu labeled “Election 2024.”
Upon tapping the banner, live 2024 US presidential election tracker updates would turn on. If users decide to stop the tracking process, all they need to do is tap again.
The widget integrates with Apple’s Live Activities, delivering election updates directly on the lock screens of iPhone and iPad users. On iPhones with Dynamic Island, US election tracker updates are presented in enhanced format, while Apple Watch users are also view results from their widget.
This feature, initially created earlier this year by Apple for the coverage of caucus results, has proven quite effective in tracking current events.
US Presidential Election Tracker Enhanced Experience
As the election within the US carries on, the Apple live widget is fluid and effortless for users to maintain knowledge and to be able to track US election results.
Whether the results are quick or delayed, this feature supports an immediate flow of information to keep users informed as events unfold. The effectiveness of this feature during the election will influence how Apple develops its live update capabilities within the Apple News app, perhaps expanding it to other major events and future real-time information needs.
With this US election tracker tool, Apple is positioning itself as a reliable source for up-to-the-minute news updates. The step also rhymes with the company’s wider campaign of increasing user engagement through the use of convenient, easily accessible digital services.
