In 2024, SwiftUI introduced several enhancements to ScrollView, providing developers with more control and flexibility. Here are the key improvements:

  1. Programmatic Control: You now have more programmatic control over your ScrollView, including the ability to scroll to specific positions like the top edge.

  2. Scroll Positions: There are more scroll positions available, allowing for more precise control over where content is displayed.

  3. Scroll Geometry Change: The onScrollGeometryChange modifier lets you react to changes in content offsets and sizes, enabling dynamic UI updates based on scroll position.

  4. Visibility Detection: You can detect when a view's visibility changes due to scrolling, which is useful for creating experiences centered around content moving on or off the screen, such as auto-playing videos.

  5. Content Alignment and Bouncing: You can control content alignment and disable bouncing along a given axis, providing a more tailored scrolling experience.

  6. Scroll Transition Modifier: This modifier allows for custom scroll effects, such as rotating and offsetting elements based on their position in the scroll view, creating unique visual experiences.

For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in SwiftUI (16:18).
