Clovo’s Live Activity feature for iPhone lets you keep track of your upcoming and in-progress classes right from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — no need to open the app.
What are Live Activities?
Live Activities are a feature on iPhone (iOS 16.1 and later) that display real-time information on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro and newer models. Clovo uses Live Activities to show you details about your booked classes as they approach and while they are in progress.
What does the Clovo Live Activity show?
When you have an upcoming booked class, the Clovo Live Activity will appear approximately one hour before the class starts. It displays the following information:
On the Lock Screen banner:
- The studio name and location
- Your class name (e.g. Reformer Pilates 45 Minute)
- The instructor name(s)
- Start and end times for the class
- A countdown showing the time remaining until the class starts, or the time remaining in a class that is in progress
- A progress bar showing how far through the class you are
- The studio logo
In the Dynamic Island (iPhone 14 Pro and later):
- The compact view shows the studio logo on the left and a live countdown timer on the right
- Tap and hold the Dynamic Island to expand it and see full details including the studio name, class times, and a countdown
The Live Activity updates in real time and uses colour to indicate the current status of your class:
- Green — Your class is coming up (countdown phase)
- Orange — Your class is currently in progress
- Grey — Your class has finished
After your class ends, the Live Activity will remain briefly before automatically dismissing.
How to turn Live Activities on or off
Live Activities are enabled by default in the Clovo app. There are two ways to control Live Activities:
Within the Clovo app
- Open the Clovo app on your iPhone
- Tap on your Account tab
- Tap Settings
- Find the Live Activities toggle
- Toggle it on or off according to your preference
When you disable Live Activities in the Clovo app settings, any currently active Live Activity will be ended immediately.
From iPhone Settings
You can also control whether Clovo is allowed to show Live Activities from your iPhone’s system settings:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone
- Scroll down and tap Clovo
- Tap Live Activities
- Toggle Allow Live Activities on or off
If Live Activities are disabled at the system level, the Clovo app will not be able to display them regardless of the in-app setting.
Requirements
- An iPhone running iOS 16.1 or later
- The latest version of the Clovo app
- An upcoming booked class
- For Dynamic Island display: iPhone 14 Pro or later
