What is the difference between Form and VStack in SwiftUI?

Question

Hi! In SwiftUI, what is the difference between Form and other containers, such as VStack?
I saw some examples of using Form to allow users to input data, but still wasn't able to tell what will be the difference if I use VStack instead.
Can you tell me the difference?
Thank you!

You can try it for yourself.

Run these two bits of code and you will see the difference:

Code Block SwiftForm {
	Text("I’m in a Form")
	Button("Tap Me!") {
		print("Button tapped")
	}
}

Code Block SwiftVStack {
	Text("I’m in a VStack")
	Button("Tap Me!") {
		print("Button tapped")
	}
}

A Form places the views in a List with an InsetGroupedListStyle (iOS).
It is just a container that is platform-adaptive that shows a form.

A VStack just places the views vertically: above and below each other.

Check the documentation for Form and VStack for more detail.
