As you can see, it lets you search for systemImage names as a native app, which is incredibly handy.

You'll often want to add a button with an icon while coding in SwiftUI, and having the SF Symbols app installed means you can look one up instantly.

                Button {
                    presented.toggle()
                } label: {
                    Label("toggle inspector", systemImage: "info.circle")
                }

Here are the ones I reach for most often (partly as a note to myself).

Info-related
info.circle gets used all the time

For help features, questionmark.circle

For editing things like colors,

paintbrush

For notifications,
