Bringing Grab’ s Live Activity to Android: Enhancing user experience through custom notifications

摘要

In May 2023, Grab unveiled the Live Activity feature for iOS, which received positive feedback from users. Live Activity is a feature that enhances user experience by displaying a user interface (UI) outside of the app, delivering real-time updates and interactive content. At Grab, we leverage this feature to keep users informed about their order updates without requiring them to manually open the app.

While Live Activity is a native iOS feature provided by Apple, there is currently no official Android equivalent. However, we are determined to bring this immersive experience to Android users. Inspired by the success of Live Activity on iOS, we have embarked on design explorations and feasibility studies to ensure the seamless integration of Live Activity into the Android platform. Our ultimate goal is to provide Android users with the same level of convenience and real-time updates, elevating their Grab experience.
