I was wondering how I would create a small pop-up "subview" that appears on top of all apps and the home screen much like the Facebook chatheads?
I've seen plenty of threads on how to do this in android, but I was wondering how you would implement this in IOS obj-c?
You can not do that on iOS unless you are developing for JailBroken device.

Hi I'm developing a iOS app that needs the ability to add shortcuts to the home screen.
I've searched around abit but all the answers seem to be out of date, how would I go about this as I know it's possible because you can do it in Safari and the Shortcuts app?
Hello i am using opentok for screen sharing.Everything is working fine but one issue is i am facing it works correctly in iOS simulator mean screen is sharing perfectly but in real iOS device screen is not sharing black screen is appearing on other device.
When using screen sharing you can share the contents of a given UIView inside your application. Due to iOS security restrictions you cannot share the content of any other view outside your application. (If you send your application to the background the other end will receive a black screen since the view you are sharing is not longer being rendered)
Please take a look to the screen sharing sample for more details: https://github.com/opentok/opentok-ios-sdk-samples-swift/tree/master/Screen-Sharing
I am using swift to build a mobile app. I see some Android apps support showing in a smaller size on top-right on the home screen. I wonder how I can acheive this on iOS. Does it require any kind of permission?
Below is a screenshot about YouTube app show on the top-right of the homescreen.
The only comparable thing in iOS is for videos on an iPad — not every iPad supports it. It's called Picture In Picture.
I was wondering if you can make the home screen visible through an app.
For example, let's take an example from the Apple Calculator. On macOS, the top is blurred and you can see everything through it.
I know iOS is a whole different OS and works through views and not tabs, but still: is it possible to e.g. blur the top of the iOS calculator and see the home screen through it?
Thanks, Ben
Unfortunately this is not possible, as this could be a serious breach of privacy for iPhone users.
If you could make the home screen visible through an app, a developer could technically save pictures of users' homescreens and store them in a remote database, which could give them access to private information. As a result, Apple doesn't allow you to do this.
How can I get screen from work table and then use in my app. I want take this photo and apply blur for this photo and use it like background for my app. So I mean that I want it looks like in Siri
Unfortunately it isn't possible to get a screenshot of the home screen on iOS devices.
You may be able to do something with a jail token device but not on a standar ios device.
You can blur things easily, such as your views; but there is no official API for capturing the system's own Springboard background.
