Hi there! I understand you're having trouble turning on the Live Activity feature in the FlightAware Flight Tracker app on your iPhone running iOS 18.6.2. I'd love to help you get that sorted out.

To start, could you tell me a bit more about what happens when you try to enable Live Activity? Do you get an error message, or does the option just not respond? Also, have you already tried updating the app or your iOS version recently?

Meanwhile, here are some general steps that often help with Live Activity issues on iPhones:

1. Check App Update: Ensure that your FlightAware app is updated to the latest version. Sometimes Live Activity features require the newest app updates that support iOS 16 and above.

2. Enable Live Activities in Settings:
- Open Settings on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap FlightAware app.
- Look for a setting called Live Activities and make sure it is toggled ON.

3. Check Notifications Settings:
- Open Settings > Notifications.
- Find FlightAware in the list.
- Verify that Allow Notifications is enabled. Live Activities depend on notifications enabled to update on your lock screen.

4. Restart Your iPhone: Sometimes a simple reboot can refresh system settings to allow Live Activities to work correctly.

5. Reinstall the App: If the above steps don’t help, try deleting and reinstalling the FlightAware app to refresh any app permissions.

Once you've tried these, let me know what you observe. If the Live Activity still won't enable, I can guide you through some more advanced checks or look into FlightAware's server status or app-specific issues.

Are you comfortable trying these steps now?

Can’t use live activity. It would let me turn it on.

Thanks for clarifying that you're unable to turn on Live Activity in the FlightAware Flight Tracker app on your iPhone running iOS 18.6.2. Let's try a targeted approach that’s helped others with similar issues.

Here’s what I recommend:

1. Toggle Live Activity Off and On for the Flight
Sometimes Live Activity might glitch with a specific flight. If you see the option to follow a flight and enable Live Activity, try turning it off first for that flight and then enable it again. This can reset the live feed for that flight's activity.

2. Verify App Permissions
- Open Settings > FlightAware
- Confirm Live Activities and Notifications permissions are enabled. Live Activities rely on notifications to update live info.

3. Update the FlightAware App
Make sure you have the very latest app version from the App Store. Developers often push fixes for features like Live Activity.

4. Restart Your iPhone
A fresh reboot can sometimes clear small system hiccups affecting Live Activities.

5. Reinstall the App if Needed
Delete FlightAware and reinstall it to refresh the app’s settings and permissions.

If after these steps the Live Activity still won’t activate, it’s worth checking if there’s any temporary service issue or app bug by viewing FlightAware support or forums. On a related note, some users found Live Activity countdowns or updates not working and fixed it by toggling Live Activity off and on again per flight1.

Would you be okay trying these steps now? Let me know what happens, and we can go deeper if needed!
