FXBlurView is a deprecated Objective-C UIView subclass that replicates the iOS 7 realtime background blur effect on iOS 5 and above, with static and dynamic rendering modes. It also extends UIImage with a method for applying blur to images.
Use cases
- add a frosted glass blur overlay to an iOS view
- replicate the iOS 7 realtime background blur effect
- blur a UIImage programmatically in Objective-C
- create a dynamically updating blurred background behind content
- support blur effects on older iOS versions
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Objective-C iOS app already using it
- you need blur effects on very old iOS deployment targets
When to avoid
- starting a new iOS project - the project is deprecated and unsupported
- you need Swift or modern iOS blur APIs like UIVisualEffectView
- you expect bug fixes or updates
