Infinite scroll with InstantSearch iOS

Implement an infinite scroll experience with InstantSearch iOS.

Starting May 1, 2024, Apple requires all iOS apps to include a privacy manifest. For more information, see Privacy manifest.

A typical method for browsing results on mobile devices is an “infinite scroll”, which loads results as users scroll through the list. With InstantSearch, set the infiniteScroll attribute of a Hits widget to true.

If there are no hits, you should display a message to users and clear filters so they can start over.

Show more than 1,000 results

To ensure excellent performance, the default limit for the number of hits you can retrieve for a query is 1,000.

C#

var response = await client.SetSettingsAsync(
  "ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME",
  new IndexSettings { PaginationLimitedTo = 1000 }
);

If you need to show more than 1,000 hits, you can set a different limit using the paginationLimitedTo parameter. The higher you set this limit, the slower your search performance can become.
