We made it easier to enter text when designing on iPhones with a new, compact text field that appears automatically. You can dismiss the keyboard quickly by tapping done or by swiping down on the text field.

We also made our sharing menus simpler, cleaner, and easier to use on all platforms. We’d received many requests for a Save to Files action, which has now been added, and also created new items in the sharing menu specifically for quickly sharing SwiftUI code. We also consolidated the sharing actions for Swift Playgrounds and Swift Playgrounds Apps into one.
