Understanding modal types and their uses in user interfaces
Models are commonly used to provide important information to the user.
They are often used to display error messages, confirmation dialogues, and warning messages.
They are displayed in a temporary mode and contain highly specific content to enhance user interaction.
The modal views include alerts, popovers, sheets, and fullscreen.
The alert dialogue is used to convey critical information and prompt swift actions.
The body text should be set at 17 point, while secondary text should range from 11-14 point.
A popover can incorporate items and is primarily used on large screen devices and can be dismissed simply by tapping outside.
The sheet presentation occupies minimal screen space and dims out the inactive areas to prevent interaction, exemplified by the Activity View and Action sheet that reside at the bottom of the screen.
When the information presented isn't brief, consider using a full-sized modal, which can appear through slide, fade, flip, or page animations.
