See the containers, visual elements, input forms, and reusable elements available in Bubble for native mobile apps. iOS and Android apps include elements that are native to their operating systems. However, many elements used in web apps are also supported in native mobile apps. Below is a list of web app elements that are also available when building mobile apps. ## Containers Containers are elements that contain other elements.

Element	Description
Group	The most basic and versatile container type. Used to organize elements, control layout, and hold data.
Floating group	A container that stays fixed to a side of the screen as the user scrolls, ideal for persistent headers, floating action buttons, or status banners.
Short list	A container for displaying a small, fixed list of items.
Horizontal list	A container that displays a scrollable list of items side by side, useful for carousels, category rows, and media galleries.
Sheet	A container that slides up from the bottom of the view, sitting above the current content while keeping the underlying view partially visible.

*** ## Visual Visual elements are elements that display something, such as text, images, icons, and maps.

Element	Description
Text	Displays static or dynamic text on the view.
Button	A tappable element that triggers a workflow when pressed.
Icon	Displays a small graphic symbol, often used for actions, navigation, or visual cues.

*** ## Input forms Input forms are elements that collect data from the user, such as text, numbers, dates and times, and option selections.

Element	Description
Input	A single-line field for entering short text, numbers, emails, or other short values.
Multiline input	A multi-line field for entering longer text, such as descriptions, comments, or messages.

Selectable list	A list where users can select one or more items from a predefined set of options.
