iOS Gestures & Interactions

Standard Gestures (Never Override)

Gesture	Standard Action
Swipe right from left edge	Navigate back
Swipe down on modal	Dismiss modal
Pull down on list	Refresh content
Swipe left on row	Reveal actions (delete, etc.)
Pinch	Zoom in/out
Long press	Context menu

Haptic Feedback

Provide tactile feedback for meaningful interactions:

// Impact feedback (physical actions)
let impact = UIImpactFeedbackGenerator(style: .medium)
impact.impactOccurred()

// Notification feedback (outcomes)
let notification = UINotificationFeedbackGenerator()
notification.notificationOccurred(.success)  // or .warning, .error

// Selection feedback (UI changes)
let selection = UISelectionFeedbackGenerator()
selection.selectionChanged()

Animation Guidelines

Use spring animations for natural, bouncy feel
Respect reduceMotion accessibility setting
Keep animations brief and purposeful

@Environment(\.accessibilityReduceMotion) var reduceMotion

var animation: Animation {
    reduceMotion ? .none : .spring()
}

withAnimation(animation) {
    // Animate property changes
}
