An element found in iOS development, enables a user to navigate between distinct views or pages within an application. Functioning as a visual indicator of the current position and the total number of available pages, the circular dots represent these pages. A typical use is in onboarding sequences, image galleries, and situations where content is logically divided into discrete sections.
Their implementation provides a clear and intuitive user experience, particularly on devices with smaller screens. By offering a succinct visual cue, they prevent the user from becoming disoriented within the application’s structure. They arose as touchscreen interfaces became prevalent, offering a readily understandable alternative to scroll indicators for multi-page content.
