Key points

  • Alert dialogs should only be used when a decision is required — the user must pick an action to dismiss the dialogue
  • There is no option to cancel or close without making a decision — no close button or Escape key dismissal
  • Alert dialogs block out the content on the level below with an overlay
  • Alert dialogs are more disruptive than modals and should be used sparingly
  • Currently, alert dialogs are only available in React Native
