# body

The main text that appears on the alert for a Live Activity update on Apple Watch.

```
var body: LocalizedStringResource
```

## Discussion

Apple Watch displays this string briefly as part of the alert that appears
when you update a Live Activity and choose to alert people about the update.
Choose text that’s easy to read at a glance. For example, a pizza delivery app could use
“Your order will arrive in 25 minutes.”
