Native elements
Native components refer to platform-specific UI elements aligned with iOS or Android standards.
They maintain the operating system’s default look and behavior—like iOS pickers or Android’s Material-themed buttons—ensuring consistent interaction patterns for end users. By adopting these native elements, apps feel more intuitive and reliable.
Designers choose native components to reduce friction, letting people tap into familiar gestures, animations, and interface conventions. This approach also helps align with OS-level updates and accessibility, providing a smoother, more integrated user experience.
