Yes, you can use SF Symbols for your app. SF Symbols is a powerful tool provided by Apple that offers a vast library of iconography designed to be familiar and accessible. The latest version, SF Symbols 6, includes over 800 new symbols, bringing the total to over 6000 unique symbols. These symbols cover a wide range of categories, including automotive, progress indicators, haptics, home, and widgets, among others. They also support various scales, weights, and rendering modes, and come with captivating animation presets designed to enhance your app's interface.
SF Symbols are particularly useful for localization, as they are localized into a wide variety of languages and scripts, supporting both right-to-left languages and different numbering systems. This makes them an important tool for creating multilingual-ready apps.
