![]() UIImage(systemName:) will return nil, and Image(systemName:) in SwiftUI will insert an Image token into the tree, but won't display any image. So, what happens when you try to use a symbol that's not supported? Generally, it fails silently. Some new symbols come with new restrictions as well: for example, you're not supposed to use the airpodspro symbol to represent anything other than Apple's AirPods Pro product (both the SF Symbols app and annotate each symbols with their restrictions). Some additions are relevant to recent events (like aqi.high), new products (like appclip), or just more general objects (like building). There are a bunch of new symbols - you can view the changes here, but I'll include a list of new symbol names at the bottom of this post in case someone Googles for them. ![]() I don't have a guarantee about what version of iOS supports each of the symbols, but the website says "These new symbols are available in apps running the beta versions of iOS 14, iPadOS 14, or macOS Big Sur", so ostensibly as long as you're on 14+ you can assume the symbols are available for use. The previous version, SF Symbols 1.1, had 1,672 symbols - the new version has 2,612, almost a thousand more. The latest release of SF Symbols is "SF Symbols 2.1" - the symbols can be viewed in an app which you can download from Apple's Website (you can view the symbol names on, but displaying the images there isn't allowed under their usage guidelines.). Since I spent a little while updating with the new names, I thought I'd write a quick post about some of the changes. In addition to macOS support, there are almost a thousand more symbols available, and there are some changes in the symbol names. SF Symbols, the standardized icon system for the Apple ecosystem, got some great upgrades this year. ![]()
