Confirmation dialog.
A dialog asking users to approve a specific consequence.
See it in context
What it is
A confirmation dialog gives a final decision point before an action with a meaningful consequence. State the affected object and use action-specific labels instead of generic Yes and No buttons.
When to use it
Use before difficult-to-reverse or consequential actions.
Know the difference
Confirmation asks before an action; a success message reports an action already completed.
Across platforms
iOS · iPadOS · macOS · visionOS
Use the native platform presentation and terminology; adapt density and interaction to touch, pointer, remote, or spatial input rather than copying a phone-sized view.
Web · Android · Windows · Linux
On the web, manage keyboard focus and dismissal explicitly. Android and desktop implementations should use the equivalent native surface when available.
