5,648 PointsDifferent between push and modal?...
MODAL: When you have one main scene and use a modal segue you are displaying a temporary scene on top of the main scene. Once finished it will be removed. This could possibly be useful if you have a app that needs an account to log in, a temporary scene shows up on top of the main scene to input a username and password. Once you attempt to log in the scene it will be removed and the main scene will show again. You can tell if it's using a modal segue because the temporary scene will animate upwards?
PUSH: This segue is best used for a stack of scenes, we navigate through these scenes using a navigation bar to move forward and back through the scenes like the setting on an iPhone. We transition between each scene using a push segue.
