# Form A container for grouping controls used for data entry, such as in settings or inspectors. ``` nonisolated struct Form where Content : View ``` ## Overview SwiftUI applies platform-appropriate styling to views contained inside a form, to group them together. Form-specific styling applies to things like buttons, toggles, labels, lists, and more. Keep in mind that these stylings may be platform-specific. For example, forms appear as grouped lists on iOS, and as aligned vertical stacks on macOS. The following example shows a simple data entry form on iOS, grouped into two sections. The supporting types (`NotifyMeAboutType` and `ProfileImageSize`) and state variables (`notifyMeAbout`, `profileImageSize`, `playNotificationSounds`, and `sendReadReceipts`) are omitted for simplicity. ``` var body: some View { NavigationView { Form { Section(header: Text("Notifications")) { Picker("Notify Me About", selection: $notifyMeAbout) { Text("Direct Messages").tag(NotifyMeAboutType.directMessages) Text("Mentions").tag(NotifyMeAboutType.mentions) Text("Anything").tag(NotifyMeAboutType.anything) } Toggle("Play notification sounds", isOn: $playNotificationSounds) Toggle("Send read receipts", isOn: $sendReadReceipts) } Section(header: Text("User Profiles")) { Picker("Profile Image Size", selection: $profileImageSize) { Text("Large").tag(ProfileImageSize.large) Text("Medium").tag(ProfileImageSize.medium) Text("Small").tag(ProfileImageSize.small) } Button("Clear Image Cache") {} } } } } ```  On macOS, a similar form renders as a vertical stack. To adhere to macOS platform conventions, this version doesn’t use sections, and uses colons at the end of its labels. It also sets the picker to use the [`inline`](/documentation/SwiftUI/PickerStyle/inline) style, which produces radio buttons on macOS. ``` var body: some View { Spacer() HStack { Spacer() Form { Picker("Notify Me About:", selection: $notifyMeAbout) { Text("Direct Messages").tag(NotifyMeAboutType.directMessages) Text("Mentions").tag(NotifyMeAboutType.mentions) Text("Anything").tag(NotifyMeAboutType.anything) } Toggle("Play notification sounds", isOn: $playNotificationSounds) Toggle("Send read receipts", isOn: $sendReadReceipts) Picker("Profile Image Size:", selection: $profileImageSize) { Text("Large").tag(ProfileImageSize.large) Text("Medium").tag(ProfileImageSize.medium) Text("Small").tag(ProfileImageSize.small) } .pickerStyle(.inline) Button("Clear Image Cache") {} } Spacer() } Spacer() } ```  ## Topics ### Creating a form [`init(content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Form/init(content:)) Creates a form with the provided content. ### Creating a form from a configuration [`init(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Form/init(_:)) Creates a form based on a form style configuration. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
