Designing Your App to be Discoverable
summary
iOS 13 introduces visible examples like the keyboard swipe animation and system context menus replacing peek‑and‑pop; Apple shows nine camera features in one ad and a viral tweet about scrollbars hits ~14,000 views. Build discovery as optional, dismissible prompts sprinkled through table views, settings and Spotlight, driven by analytics to target new or under‑using cohorts, respect network/context (Wi‑Fi vs cellular) and cap frequency per session, and emphasize touch‑and‑hold menus rather than blocking walkthroughs.
