Action rendering

How actions are rendered varies between OS type of the mobile device.

The top and/or bottom parts of the mobile app screen is dedicated to displaying default action views to the user. A default action view is an implicit graphical item that can be tapped to fire the corresponding action.

The default action views are rendered on the mobile device according to platform-specific standards, which are covered in Rendering default action views on mobile.
