As a UX designer working on iOS apps, you’ve likely stared at Apple’s Figma libraries wondering: Which header style should I use for this list? The answer isn’t always obvious, and Apple’s documentation doesn’t spell it out for you. However, after investigating patterns across Apple’s own apps for years, I’ve found there is a logic behind it, and it starts with understanding your list content.

If you design mobile apps, you’re probably familiar with Apple’s Figma UI Kit. In this UI Kit, there are two types of modals for iPad: Form Sheets and Page Sheets. Like me, you might have struggled to find a definitive explanation on the differences between the sheets. So, I’ve compiled my findings into a practical guide to help you decide when to use a Form Sheet or a Page Sheet.
