In this demo, you’ll see how to configure Writing Tools behavior and output in a sample app. Open the CoverCraft project in this lesson’s starter folder.

Setting Writing Tools Behavior

Next, open CustomTextView.swift. Add the following line just before the return statement in makeUIView():

textView.writingToolsBehavior = .none

Requesting the Writing Tools Output

Using UIKit, you can also specify which kinds of results Writing Tools returns. This is done via the allowedWritingToolsResultOptions property. To see this in action, first undo what you did in the last section. Inside makeUIView(), set writingToolsBehavior to .complete:

textView.writingToolsBehavior = .complete

Requesting the Writing Tools Experience in a Web View

Like with text views, you can request a preferred version of the tools for the system to display. To do this for a web view, you’ll need to create a WKWebViewConfiguration object, on which you’ll set the same writingToolsBehavior property that’s used on UIKit text views and also available as a view modifier in SwiftUI.

Reading the Current Writing Tools Behavior

You can also read the current Writing Tools behavior in web and UIKit text views. Start by making sure the logic inside the availability check in makeUIView() looks like this. It might be different depending on where you left in experimenting in the previous step:

if #available(iOS 18.0, *) {
  configuration.writingToolsBehavior = .complete

}
