# edgesIgnoringSafeArea(_:) Changes the view’s proposed area to extend outside the screen’s safe areas. ``` nonisolated func edgesIgnoringSafeArea(_ edges: Edge.Set) -> some View ``` ## Parameters `edges` The set of the edges in which to expand the size requested for this view. ## Return Value A view that may extend outside of the screen’s safe area on the edges specified by `edges`. ## Discussion Use `edgesIgnoringSafeArea(_:)` to change the area proposed for this view so that — were the proposal accepted — this view could extend outside the safe area to the bounds of the screen for the specified edges. For example, you can propose that a text view ignore the safe area’s top inset: ``` VStack { Text("This text is outside of the top safe area.") .edgesIgnoringSafeArea([.top]) .border(Color.purple) Text("This text is inside VStack.") .border(Color.yellow) } .border(Color.gray) ```  Depending on the surrounding view hierarchy, SwiftUI may not honor an `edgesIgnoringSafeArea(_:)` request. This can happen, for example, if the view is inside a container that respects the screen’s safe area. In that case you may need to apply `edgesIgnoringSafeArea(_:)` to the container instead. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
