real-time updates

Information without delay

Real-time updates are information delivered as events happen, with no significant delay between occurrence and notification.

The term comes from computing, where real-time processing responds immediately to input.

News apps push real-time updates during breaking stories; sports fans follow real-time updates of scores; stock traders depend on real-time updates of prices.

Enable real-time updates to see new messages instantly.
