SF Symbols overview

SF Symbols represent a comprehensive library of iconography designed to integrate seamlessly with Apple platforms.

The library includes thousands of symbols organized into clear categories:

  • Communication — messages, calls, sharing
  • Objects — devices, tools, items
  • Actions — add, delete, edit
  • Transportation — vehicles, navigation
  • Humanaccessibility, gestures
  • Weather — conditions, forecasts

Each symbol automatically aligns with the San Francisco font, adjusting its weight and scale to match the text. Symbols update dynamically when interface settings change. All symbols work across platforms, making it easy to maintain visual consistency in multi-platform apps.[1]

Pro Tip: Browse the SF Symbols app to find the right symbol — searching by keyword often reveals related options you might have missed.
