The session "Design interactive snippets" at WWDC 2025 focuses on creating compact, interactive views called snippets that are displayed by app intents. These snippets can appear in various places like Spotlight, Siri, and the Shortcuts app, providing updated information and quick actions directly from your app. They are designed to be glanceable, with larger text sizes and consistent margins to ensure clarity and readability. Snippets can include interactive elements like buttons, allowing users to perform actions directly within the snippet.
The session covers several key aspects:
-
Appearance: Ensuring that snippets are easy to read and understand, with a focus on type size and layout. Design interactive snippets (00:01:30)
-
Interaction: Adding interactivity to snippets with buttons and updated data, making them more actionable. Design interactive snippets (00:03:25)
-
Types: Understanding the different types of snippets, such as results and confirmations, and how they can be used to present information or request actions. Design interactive snippets (00:04:49)

Design interactive snippets
Snippets are compact views invoked from App Intents that display information from your app. Now, snippets can allow your app to bring even more capability to Siri, Spotlight, and the Shortcuts app by including buttons and stateful information that offer additional interactivity as part of an intent. In this session, you’ll learn best practices for designing snippets, including guidance on layout, typography, interaction, and intent types.
