Sticky Header In SwiftUI

The Sticky Header is a popular UI effect found in many modern mobile apps. It keeps the header section visible or changes its size while the content scrolls beneath it. If you’ve seen the profile page on TikTok, you’ve likely noticed this effect in action — as you scroll down, the profile picture and user information gradually shrink, while the rest of the content continues to scroll smoothly.

With SwiftUI, building this kind of sticky header becomes both efficient and visually appealing. It allows for smooth animations and a responsive design that enhances the user experience without sacrificing performance.

You can apply this effect to profile screens, home pages, or any content-heavy screen where you want to keep a key section in view during scrolling.

Extended Ideas

• Customizable Sticky Headers: Modify the header to include profile images, search bars, action buttons, or custom tabs.
• Combine with Parallax Effects: Add more depth by animating background images that zoom or fade as the user scrolls.
• Dark Mode Support: SwiftUI makes it easy to ensure your sticky header looks great in both light and dark modes.
• Integration with Navigation Bars: Pair the sticky header with a custom NavigationBar to create a professional and seamless app interface.
  

The Sticky Header effect not only improves UX but also gives your app a modern, polished appearance. Whether you’re building a social profile screen or a content feed, this feature is a must-have!
