                    VStack {
                        Text("Item \(number)")
                            .padding()
                    }
                    .swipeActions(edge: .trailing) {
                        Button(role: .destructive) {
                            withAnimation {
                                deletePatient2()
                            }
                            
                        } label: {
                            Label("Delete", systemImage: "trash.fill")
                        }
                        
                        Button {
                            deletePatient2()
                            // toDoToEdit = item
                        } label: {
                            Label("Edit", systemImage: "pencil")
                        }
                        .tint(.orange)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        .listStyle(.plain)
    }
    
    func deletePatient2() {
    }
}

Swipe actions may display the label's text, icon, or both, depending on the height of the row and the platform.

iOS and iPadOS prefer showing the icon instead of the title when the row isn't tall enough to display both.

In your example, if you make the content of the row take up more vertical space, such as by adding more text or increasing the the padding, you'll see that both the text and icon are displayed. (In the video you linked to, the row content is much taller.)

Although it's not actually mentioned on this page, from the example it looks like the text isn't displayed at all, just the images.

Maybe the text is used for accessibility, where someone cannot see the images and so iOS reads out the text?

Thanks, it's working now, one last question is it possible to use views such as in code below ? maybe for example I want to show to circle buttons ? I remember Apple Mail used this design before ?

Kind Regards

                            withAnimation {
                                deletePatient2()
                            }
                            
                        } label: {
                            View1()
                        }

                        }
