How to design bottom sheets for optimized user experience
- Bottom sheets are a common feature in mobile interfaces that offer a flexible way to present additional content without navigating away from the main screen.
- They help reduce cognitive load and improve loading and rendering performance, especially on handheld devices with limited screen space.
- Bottom sheets slide up from the bottom of the screen, providing more space than traditional dialogs by snapping to three out of four edges.
- Modal bottom sheets render the main document inert while non-modal ones pair with the main document.
- Designing bottom sheet UX involves using all horizontal space, visual cues for interactivity, and subtle transitions.
- Prevent accidental dismissal by placing a close button near the top-left corner and avoiding large clickable areas that can dismiss the bottom sheet.
- Introduce subtle transitions such as sliding up from below and keep content low-density for better user experience.
- Consider navigation possibilities as bottom sheets are not traditionally included in navigation history.
- Bottom sheets offer a page-in-page experience with reduced cognitive load, making tasks quicker while maintaining the user's place in the main document.
- Overall, simplify bottom sheets by using horizontal space effectively, limiting interactivity, and employing simple transitions.
