# isActivityUpdateReduced

A Boolean value that indicates whether the Live Activity update
synchronization rate is reduced.

```
var isActivityUpdateReduced: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

When rendering an activity on a remote device such as Apple Watch,
content updates may sometimes be limited to only alerting updates,
depending on system conditions. When a Live Activity is visible and
the system synchronizes only alerting updates with a remote device, the
value of `isActivityUpdateReduced` is `true`.

For example, `isActivityUpdateReduced` may be `true` for Live
Activities on an Apple Watch that’s out of range of the paired iPhone.
