# safeAreaPadding(_:)

Adds the provided insets into the safe area of this view.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func safeAreaPadding(_ insets: EdgeInsets) -> some View

```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this modifier when you would like to add a fixed amount of space to the safe area a view sees. ScrollView(.horizontal) {     HStack(spacing: 10.0) {         ForEach(items) { item in             ItemView(item)         }     } } .safeAreaPadding(.horizontal, 20.0) See the horizontal safeAreaInset(edge:alignment:spacing:content:) or vertical safeAreaInset(edge:alignment:spacing:content:) modifier for adding to the safe area based on the size of a view.
