Page controls

A page control helps users track their position when moving through a sequence of content views — like dots that light up to show which chapter you're reading in a digital book. It appears as a row of subtle dots, with the current page highlighted to clearly mark your place.

Key guidelines from Apple HIG:

• Visual design: Creates a delicate row of dots using system materials that adapt to different backgrounds
• Current position: Highlights the active dot with a brighter, more solid appearance
• Animation style: Transitions smoothly as pages change to maintain context
• Optimal use: Best for brief, important content like onboarding or featured items
• Placement rules: Sits below the content it controls, centered horizontally
• Dot count: Keeps total pages between 2-10 for easy scanning^[1]
