Dynamic Island not showing live sports scores on iPhone 16 Pro Max

Dynamic Island not showing live sports scores. With college and professional football back in action and soon to be hockey, the Dynamic Island is no longer showing live scores like it used to.


I’m following teams of interest on Google, so the ONLY way I’m getting updates is to search the team name. I searched on Google for how to resolve this issue and the first thing indicated was turning on live activities.


This used to be on and never turned it off, but sure enough when I went to settings-face ID and passcode - live activitiesc was toggled off.


i turned it on and no change. Restarted the phone and no change. It would seem that maybe an update turned off this feature. I did not have to use any app before to see the live updates on the Dynamic Island. On my tablet, without having to do anything, the score feed shows up automatically when the game starts. The same thing used to happen on the iPhone 16 pro max but now it doesn’t. Just used to iOS 27.
