Google Maps spotted adding support for Live Updates on Android 16

Android 16 is currently in beta, headed for a stable release in June. One of the update's defining new features is a new type of notification called Live Updates. The feature, similar to iOS's Live Activities, highlights real-time information for ongoing activities both on your lock screen and in your status bar. The feature wasn't active in Android 16 Beta 2. But reporting for Android Authority, Mishaal Rahman writes that Live Updates are partially functional in Android 16 Beta 2.1 — and Google Maps can already take advantage of the new functionality, at least to a point.
