Live Activities not working on Macbook with Tahoe installed

I am not able to get Live Activities from my iPhone to mirror to my MacBook. Both devices have the newest OS installed from yesterday's release (iOS 26 / MacOS Tahoe).


  • Notifications are enabled on each device
  • Handoff is enabled on each device
  • iPhone Mirroring is enabled on the phone
  • Signed into same Apple ID
  • Wifi/Bluetooth ON on both devices
  • Live Activities enabled for the app(s) in question (Flighty, Apple Sports are the ones I've tried so far)
  • "Allow Live Activities from iPhone" toggled ON in Macbook Notification settings.


What else am I missing?!

MacBook Air, macOS 26.0

ref: iPhone Mirroring: Use your iPhone from your Mac


not sure you are missing anything if there is a glitch or worse a bug...


shut down and restart all devices and compare your results.
