# hoverEffect(in:isEnabled:body:) Applies a hover effect to this view described by the given closure. ``` nonisolated func hoverEffect(in group: HoverEffectGroup? = nil, isEnabled: Bool = true, body: @escaping (EmptyHoverEffectContent, Bool, GeometryProxy) -> some HoverEffectContent) -> some View ``` ## Parameters `group` An optional [`HoverEffectGroup`](/documentation/SwiftUI/HoverEffectGroup) to add this effect to. `isEnabled` Whether the effect is enabled or not. If `false`, the effect’s inactive state will be applied, and it will not apply the active state when hovered. `body` The closure that constructs a `HoverEffectContent` for each of the effect’s phases. ## Return Value A new effect that changes a view’s appearance when hovered. ## Discussion You use this modifier to describe how a view should change when hovered. The given block is provided an empty effect that you use to compose effects, as well as a boolean describing which phase is being requested. A [`GeometryProxy`](/documentation/SwiftUI/GeometryProxy) is also provided, allowing effects to change based on the view’s geometry. In the following example, the `Text` will have a scale of 1.0 when inactive, and then scale to 1.1 when hovered: ``` Text("Hello, World!") .hoverEffect { effect, isActive, proxy in effect.scaleEffect(!isActive ? 1.0 : 1.1) } ``` Use the [`animation(_:body:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/HoverEffectContent/animation(_:body:)) modifier to specify how visual changes should be animated. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
