How to remove "row" separators/dividers from a List in SwiftUI?

I'm trying to remove the "row" separators (known as dividers in SwiftUI) from a List in SwiftUI.

I went through the List documentation, but I haven't been able to find a modifier for that.

Any help would be appreciated.

For iOS13，iOS14，iOS15，and remove the separator at the top of the first cell

Add viewModifier

extension View {
    /// 隐藏 List 中的 分割线
    func hideRowSeparator(insets: EdgeInsets = .init(top: 0, leading: 0, bottom: 0, trailing: 0),
                          background: Color = .white) -> some View {
        modifier(HideRowSeparatorModifier(insets: insets, background: background))
    }
}

struct HideRowSeparatorModifier: ViewModifier {

  static let defaultListRowHeight: CGFloat = 44

  var insets: EdgeInsets
  var background: Color

  init(insets: EdgeInsets, background: Color) {
    self.insets = insets

    var alpha: CGFloat = 0
    if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {
        UIColor(background).getWhite(nil, alpha: &alpha)
        assert(alpha == 1, "Setting background to a non-opaque color will result in separators remaining visible.")
    }
    self.background = background
  }

  func body(content: Content) -> some View {
    content
        .padding(insets)
        .frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: Self.defaultListRowHeight)
        .listRowInsets(EdgeInsets())
        .overlay(
            VStack {
                HStack {}
                .frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
                .frame(height: 1)
                .background(background)
                Spacer()
                HStack {}
                .frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
                .frame(height: 1)
                .background(background)
            }
            .padding(.top, -1)
        )
  }
}

Usage

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        List {
            ForEach(0 ..< 30) { item in
                HStack(alignment: .center, spacing: 30) {
                    Text("Hello, world!：\(item)").padding()
                }
                .hideRowSeparator(background: .white)
            }
        }
        .listStyle(PlainListStyle())
    }
}

iOS 15:

This year Apple introduced a new modifier .listRowSeparator that can be used to style the separators. you can pass .hidden to hide it:

List {
    ForEach(items, id:\.self) { 
        Text("Row \($0)")
            .listRowSeparator(.hidden)
    }
}

iOS 14

Apple introduced LazyVStack In iOS 14. you may consider using it instead of list for this:

ScrollView {
    LazyVStack {
        ForEach((1...100), id: \.self) {
           Text("Placeholder \($0)")
        }
    }
}

Keep in mind that LazyVStack is lazy and doesn't render all rows all the time. So they are very performant and suggested by Apple itself in WWDC 2020.

iOS 13

There is a UITableView behind SwiftUI's List for iOS. So to remove

Extra separators (below the list):

you need a tableFooterView and to remove

All separators (including the actual ones):

you need separatorStyle to be .none

init() {
    // To remove only extra separators below the list:
    UITableView.appearance().tableFooterView = UIView()

    // To remove all separators including the actual ones:
    UITableView.appearance().separatorStyle = .none
}

var body: some View {
    List {
        Text("Item 1")
        Text("Item 2")
        Text("Item 3")
    }
}

From: Swiftui Views Mastery Book SwiftUI 2.0 Mark Moeykens

.listStyle(SidebarListStyle()) # IOS 14

You can apply this new list style which will remove the separator lines.

iOS 13 builds only:

See existing answers using UITableView.appearance().

⚠️ Be aware that in the iOS 14 SDK, List does not appear to be backed by UITableView. See the alternate solution below:

iOS 14 Xcode 12 Beta 1 only:

I do have a pure SwiftUI solution for iOS 14, but who knows how long it's going to continue working for. It relies on your content being the same size (or larger) than the default list row and having an opaque background.

⚠️ This does not work for iOS 13 builds.

Tested in Xcode 12 beta 1:

yourRowContent
  .padding(EdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 16, bottom: 0, trailing: 16))
  .frame(
    minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity,
    minHeight: 44,
    alignment: .leading
  )
  .listRowInsets(EdgeInsets())
  .background(Color.white)

Or if you're looking for a reusable ViewModifier:

import SwiftUI

struct HideRowSeparatorModifier: ViewModifier {

  static let defaultListRowHeight: CGFloat = 44

  var insets: EdgeInsets
  var background: Color

  init(insets: EdgeInsets, background: Color) {
    self.insets = insets

    var alpha: CGFloat = 0
    UIColor(background).getWhite(nil, alpha: &alpha)
    assert(alpha == 1, "Setting background to a non-opaque color will result in separators remaining visible.")
    self.background = background
  }

  func body(content: Content) -> some View {
    content
      .padding(insets)
      .frame(
        minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity,
        minHeight: Self.defaultListRowHeight,
        alignment: .leading
      )
      .listRowInsets(EdgeInsets())
      .background(background)
  }
}

extension EdgeInsets {

  static let defaultListRowInsets = Self(top: 0, leading: 16, bottom: 0, trailing: 16)
}

extension View {

  func hideRowSeparator(
    insets: EdgeInsets = .defaultListRowInsets,
    background: Color = .white
  ) -> some View {
    modifier(HideRowSeparatorModifier(
      insets: insets,
      background: background
    ))
  }
}

struct HideRowSeparator_Previews: PreviewProvider {

  static var previews: some View {
    List {
      ForEach(0..<10) { _ in
        Text("Text")
          .hideRowSeparator()
      }
    }
    .previewLayout(.sizeThatFits)
  }
}

iOS 13 builds only:

Adding UITableView.appearance().separatorColor = .clear for initializer

struct SomeView: View {
  init() {
        UITableView.appearance().separatorColor = .clear
    }
}

I hope you to resolve this problem.

iOS 13 builds only:

The current workaround is to remove them via UIAppearance:

UITableView.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: 
    [UIHostingController<ContentView>.self]
).separatorStyle = .none

while this solution works correctly let's clean up the work using ViewModifier

public struct ListSeparatorStyleNoneModifier: ViewModifier {
    public func body(content: Content) -> some View {
        content.onAppear {
            UITableView.appearance().separatorStyle = .none
        }.onDisappear {
            UITableView.appearance().separatorStyle = .singleLine
        }
    }
}

now let's make a small extension that would help to hide the details

extension View {
    public func listSeparatorStyleNone() -> some View {
        modifier(ListSeparatorStyleNoneModifier())
    }
}

As you can see, we’ve wrapped our appearance setting code into a neat little view modifier. you can declare it directly now

List {
    Text("1")
    Text("2")
    Text("3")
}.listSeparatorStyleNone()

You may use ForEach within a ScrollView instead of List for dynamic views without any styling
