Now Bar "Sports from Google"

[Absolute_mess]

So firstly the phone is a beast compared to my previous one.

Anyway. 

So the Now Bar for "Sports from Google," wasn't working when I first got my phone. Used ChatGPT to kind of help me figure out what could be an issue. Both of us just stumped.

I always have AOD switched to "On" (as it is right now). It isn't On, screen is just black. I just happened to glance at my phone just now, Sports notification for one of my teams for a game tonight, just showed up. 

What is going on?

TLDR; AOD works OOB. Now Bar doesn't work OOB. Changed nothing settings wise. Now it's reversed.

That doesn't work for me either but women's college basketball won't pin and it did when I first got it and now it won't pin or show on now bar.

Every time it happens I clear the data on Google in the settings to bring it back. Then you have to choose an an assistant again each time. But I have learned not to swipe away the score while the game is in progress to keep from doing it. Also check to see if Web to App activity is on in search history in the settings. Mine never worked at the beginning so I turned it on and rebooted my phone.

Tried that. Cleared phone cache. Still won't.

The only thing else I did was made Samsung internet my default. I heard most the features work better with it and cleared the data again. My phone didn't work from the begging. Until I did all these things.

My now bar stopped showing sports scores for some reason. It had been working properly and I didn'tmake any changes of any kind. Samsung s25 ultra.

It sounds like the "Now Bar" on the Samsung S25 Ultra has integrated sports score features, and here's a breakdown of how to access and customize those:
Key Steps:
* Accessing Sports Settings:
* The core functionality revolves around the "Sports from Google" settings. You can typically find this by:
* Going into your phone's general "Settings."
* Using the search bar within the Settings app and typing "Sports."
* Selecting "Sports from Google" from the search results.
* Customizing Sports Preferences:
* Once in the "Sports from Google" settings, you should find options to:
* Follow specific sports leagues and teams.
* Browse recommended sports content.
* Manage your followed teams and leagues.
* Ensuring Functionality:
* Web & App Activity: For the live sports scores to function correctly, ensure that your "Web & App Activity" is turned on in your Google app settings. This allows Google to provide personalized sports updates.
* To check this: Open the Google app, go to Settings, then Privacy & Safety, and ensure "Web & App Activity" is enabled.
Important Notes:
* Updates: Software updates can change the exact location of settings, so if the steps above don't perfectly match your device, look for similar options within the Settings app.
* Troubleshooting:
* If you're having trouble getting sports scores to appear, double-check your Google app settings and ensure that you've followed the desired teams and leagues.
* Also make sure that your phone has a stable internet connection.
I hope this information helps!

Am I missing something? I don't receive sport from Google or anything in the now bar. What am I missing or doing wrong. Notifications are turned on. Someone help me.

@KingMooka Try this:

1. Open phone settings
2. Click on Lock screen and AOD
3. Click on Now bar
4. Ensure that items you want to see in the now bar are enabled (Sports from Google, Maps, Samsung Health, etc.)

[KingMooka]

Already enabled all of those settings. Still no live notifications.

For Live notifications to appear for an app, Allow notifications, Lock screen notifications, and Show content on Lock screen must be turned on in the app's notification settings.

Notifications>Lockscreen notifications>enable "show content."
