Change Effects are effects that will trigger a visual or haptic every time a value changes.

Use the changeEffect modifier and pass in an AnyChangeEffect as well as a value to watch for changes.

Button {
    post.toggleLike()
} label: {
    Label(post.likes.formatted(), systemName: "heart.fill")
}
.changeEffect(.spray { heart }, value: post.likes, isEnabled: post.isLiked)
.tint(post.isLiked ? .red : .gray)

You can choose from the following Change Effects: Spray, Haptic Feedback, Jump, Ping, Rise, Shake, Shine, and Spin.

Every change effect can be delayed to trigger the effect after some time.

Button("Submit") { 
    <#code#>
}
.buttonStyle(.borderedProminent)
.disabled(name.isEmpty)
.changeEffect(.shine.delay(1), value: name.isEmpty, isEnabled: !name.isEmpty)

• Parameters:
  • delay: The delay in seconds.

func delay(_ delay: Double) -> AnyChangeEffect

A particle layer is a context in which particle effects draw their particles.

The particleLayer(name:) view modifier wraps the view in a particle layer with the given name.

Particle effects such as AnyChangeEffect.spray can render their particles on this position in the view tree to avoid being clipped by their immediate ancestor.

For example, certain List styles may clip their rows. Use particleLayer(_:) to render particles on top of the entire List or even its enclosing NavigationStack.

func particleLayer(name: AnyHashable) -> some View

All transitions are namespaced under the movingParts static variable, e.g.

In this example, the removal of the view is using a glare with an exponential ease-in curve, combined with a anticipating scale animation, making for a more dramatic exit.

infoBox
  .transition(
    .asymmetric(
      insertion: .movingParts.glare(angle: .degrees(225)),
      removal: .movingParts.glare(angle: .degrees(45)
    )
    .animation(.movingParts.easeInExponential(duration: 0.9))
        .combined(with:
          .scale(scale: 1.4)
            .animation(.movingParts.anticipate(duration: 0.9).delay(0.1)

  .transition(
    .asymmetric(
      insertion: .movingParts.move(angle: .degrees(45)),
      removal:   .movingParts.move(angle: .degrees(90))
    )

  if starred {
    Image(systemName: "star.fill")
      .foregroundStyle(.orange)
      .transition(.movingParts.pop(.orange))

  .transition(.movingParts.rotate3D(
    .degrees(90),
      axis: (1, 0, 0),
      anchor: .bottom,
