IOS image sizes for buttons

Question

I've read the human interface guidelines provided by apple.

Navigation Bar and Toolbar Icon Size:

Target size : 72px × 72px (24pt × 24pt @3x) 48px × 48px (24pt × 24pt @2x)

Max size: 84px × 84px (28pt × 28pt @3x) 56px × 56px (28pt × 28pt @2x)

Does this apply to regular buttons as well?

I have a few regular buttons with images inside them that are set to Max size (above) but I find its still to small.

Can I change the size to anything I see fit?

Answer 1

No. You can choose whatever size you want, just make sure the button or other elements are within safeAreaLayoutGuide.

Besides, the guidelines are just Guidelines , they guide you as to what might look most appropriate as per apple, but these are not necessarily restrictions that must be enforced.

Answer 2

They are guidelines not rules, go crazy with it.
