If the Live Activity isn’t showing up on your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island, here’s how to fix it:
✅ 1. Make sure your device supports it
Your iPhone must be running iOS 16.1 or later
Live Activities work best on iPhones with Dynamic Island, but are also visible on the Lock Screen for other models
✅ 2. Check permissions from the OtoZen app
Open the OtoZen app, then:
Go to Profile > Safety Checklist
Make sure all items in the Activity Checklist and OtoZen App Checklist are checked, especially:
Live Activities
Location Access
Precise Location
Motion & Fitness
You can tap directly into settings from here and toggle Live Activities and More Frequent Updates as shown in the screenshots.
✅ 3. Double-check system settings (alternative method)
You can also go to your iPhone's settings directly:
Settings > OtoZen
Enable Live Activities
Enable Notifications
Settings > Face ID & Passcode
Scroll down and ensure Live Activities is allowed under Lock Screen options
✅ 4. Live Activity only comes when your Connection/ Family Member starts a trip
Live Activity only appears when:
Your Family Member is actively on a trip
You are connected with them in OtoZen
The trip is not paused or ended
✅ 5. You haven’t set a destination or ETA yet
If you receive the Live Activity but only see basic info:
Tap “Where to?” and choose a location to get ETA tracking
Optionally, set a nearby alert for arrival notifications
