Success message.
Explicit feedback that an intended action completed.
See it in context
What it is
A success message closes the interaction loop by confirming the result in terms the user understands. Use it where the changed content alone does not make completion obvious.
When to use it
Use after consequential or otherwise ambiguous actions.
Know the difference
A success message communicates an outcome; a confirmation dialog asks for a decision before the outcome.
Across platforms
iOS · iPadOS · macOS · watchOS · tvOS · 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 · Wear OS · Android TV
On the web, announce meaningful status changes without moving focus. On Android and desktop, keep messages near the relevant operation and follow the platform’s notification conventions.
