What's New in Lumen
2.0
May 27, 2026
Live Activities — the headline. Track an event's final stretch right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a countdown that ticks down on its own (no need to open the app). Start it from any event's menu, and Lumen nudges you to start one in the last 24 hours before the date. Five Live Activity looks — choose from Photo (full-bleed cover), Night, Paper, Accent Gradient, and Accent Tint, via a new picker in Settings → Appearance with a live preview. The two accent styles colour themselves to each event's own accent. Lock Screen widgets — three new accessory sizes (rectangular, circular, inline) to sit alongside the existing Home Screen and StandBy tiles. Under the hood — version reads correctly from the bundle now (Settings shows 2.0), and the countdown readout is smart about scale: whole days when an event's far off, a live HH:MM:SS ticker only in the final 24 hours.
