When adding a clear button to a UITextField, which option do you normally select for when the clear button appears (appears while editing, appears unless editing, always visible)? I want to choose the one that is unintrusive but useful.

Usually I use “appear while editing” too. But it really depend of what is the purpose of the textfield.
For example:
– If you use the textfield for search like function, you may want to leave the clear button always visible, so if the use want to clear the text it’s faster.
– If it’s in a registration page, it’s not really useful to have a clear button (you may press the x by mistake) because it’s just one time competition.
