Snackbar

Common

Component in Material Compose

Snackbars provide brief messages about app processes at the bottom of the screen.

Snackbars inform users of a process that an app has performed or will perform. They appear temporarily, towards the bottom of the screen. They shouldn’t interrupt the user experience, and they don’t require user input to disappear.

A Snackbar can contain a single action. Because Snackbar disappears automatically, the action shouldn't be "Dismiss" or "Cancel".
