Home button in games?

[lancastor]

1. Is the home indicator alsways visible in games?

2. Do you have to swipe to twice? Like control center and notification center in games on older devices?

1. I'm guessing it'll be down to the dev to make the indicator fade away. Or not. For example, in one of the 'review' videos, I noticed that while Netflix doesn't currently lose the indicator, YouTube does.

2. No idea.

Both is possible. Auto Hide Home Indicator and Swipe Twice to prevent unwanted gestures in games.

If your app uses the swipe-up-from-bottom gesture, turn on edge protect with preferredScreenEdgesDeferringSystemGestures(): the user must swipe up twice to access the home indicator.

If your app includes passive viewing experiences, turn on auto-hiding with prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden(): the home indicator fades out if the user hasn’t touched the screen for a few seconds, and reappears when the user touches the screen.
