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.
