After add iOS 14 support for Trendyol iOS App, the design change in page control led us to the pagecontrol class. Apple had introduced new features to the UIPageControl component, which affected design.

A control that displays a horizontal series of dots, each of which corresponds to a page in the app’s document or other data-model entity.

We use uipagecontrol to show images on application. Generally, we associate page control with scrollview. When scrolled to another image, we change pagecontrol index. Or, when user tapped pagecontrol index, we scroll to another image.

We didn’t change size of pagecontrol dots. And usally we use custom pagecontrol class. Apple added new abilities to page control since iOS 14.

changes:

  • background style selection
  • custom indicator icon
  • interaction

You can add a few page your phone’s home screen and you can see this ability. It can be touched and scrolled.

background style

We can use 3 different types for page control, prominent, automatic and minimal.
