Adjusting Face ID & Passcode Settings:


To disable Live Activities across all apps on the lock screen:


Navigate to Settings.

Tap on Face ID & Passcode.

Enter your passcode when prompted.

Scroll down to find Live Activities and toggle it Off.

This prevents live activities from appearing on the lock screen but does not affect the Dynamic Island when the device is unlocked

Keep in mind that the lock icon in Dynamic Island is not a Live Activity, that is something separate. Live Activity is like ride-sharing apps and sport scores, that are updated live.
