Yes, it is possible to have toolbar items animate and morph into each other when a user scrolls. This feature is part of the new design updates in SwiftUI, where toolbar items can be placed on a liquid glass surface that adapts to the content beneath it. The toolbar items can morph as users navigate and scroll through the app's content. This is discussed in the Platforms State of the Union session, where it is mentioned that navigation stacks have been updated to enable fluid morphing of the toolbar as users scroll. Additionally, the session "What’s new in SwiftUI" also touches on toolbar transitions and morphing capabilities.
