Disable email detection in SwiftUI's Text

Question

The following code

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello, World!")
            .padding()
    }
}

Produces this

But the following code

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("hello@gmail.com")
            .padding()
    }
}

Produces this

How can I make "hello@gmail.com" appear formatted like "Hello, World!" (no underline, no blue tint, remove link on click)?

You can use the verbatim: form of Text, which will skip the parsing step:

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text(verbatim: "hello@gmail.com")
            .padding()
    }
}

Fantastic, thanks @jnpdx! – Patrick Nov 14 '21 at 06:20
One thing to remember is that `Text(verbatim:)` will use text as is - no translation – Filip Zymek Mar 03 '22 at 12:28

You can also use String("hello@gmail.com"), for example in a Label, where the verbatim version doesn't work. – passatgt Jul 18 '22 at 18:35
