Timers on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
When anyone in the family starts a timer, it shows on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Choose which in More › Settings › Live Activities.

It works for sleep, nursing, pumping, bottle and contraction timers. There is nothing to set up: the card starts with the timer and goes away when the timer ends.
What the card shows


- The time running, the child and the kind of timer. A nursing card also shows the side.
- A button to pause or resume the timer. On a contraction card, the button starts and stops a contraction.
- Tap the card to open that timer in Cami. To end and save the timer, do it there.
On iPhones with the Dynamic Island, the timer also shows at the top of the screen while you use other apps. Touch and hold it to see the full card.
Timers are shared. A sleep your partner starts shows on your Lock Screen too, and you can pause it from there.
