Smart Sleep Coach supports iOS Live Activities, which lets you track your baby’s sleep directly from the lock screen — no need to open the app.
How to enable Live Activities (iPhone only):
- Open your iPhone Settings > Face ID & Passcode
- Scroll down and toggle ON “Live Activities”
- Then go to Settings > Smart Sleep Coach > Live Activities
- Make sure both “Allow Live Activities” and “More Frequent Updates” are turned ON
Once enabled, every time you start a sleep, the widget will appear on your lock screen.
Why the Play/Pause/Stop button disappears after a long night
- Apple currently limits Live Activities to 8 hours
- After that, the connection expires, and so action buttons will disappear
- To pause or stop sleep after 8 hours, you’ll need to open the app directly
Why the lock screen buttons don’t always work
- The phone must be unlocked for buttons to respond
- If you’re using Face ID, make sure your face is visible to the camera when tapping the widget
🔧 Troubleshooting steps if nothing appears on your lock screen
- Turn airplane mode on and off to reset your iPhone’s network connection
- Make sure you’re only using one device — Live Activities can only display on the device that started the sleep
- Confirm you’ve started a sleep session in the app — the widget only appears when tracking is active
