How to hide the home indicator and other system UI
Updated for Xcode 14.2
New in iOS 16
SwiftUI’s persistentSystemOverlays() modifier lets us show or hide the so-called “non-transient system views” that are automatically placed over our UI – Apple’s name for the home indicator, the multitask indicator on iPad, and more.
For example, this will request to hide the overlays:
Text("This needs to take up lots of space")
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity)
.background(.yellow)
.persistentSystemOverlays(.hidden)
Download this as an Xcode project
Note: This is a request to hide the overlays – it’s down to the system to decide what it actually do.
