What size should a modal be?
The size of modal window shouldn't be too large — the modal window shouldn't take the entire screen. Ideally, it shouldn't take more than 25% of the screen for the overlay. If you cannot fit your content in a window and want to use a scroll bar, its' probably better to create a separate page for that purpose.
Should you use modals on mobile?
Use modals when missing information prevents the system from continuing a process that the user-initiated. Modals should be tailored to your app so they look native. This promotes a natural app experience. Make sure you use compelling copy (text) that conveys information clearly to the user.
When should you use a modal?
We use modals to show if we believe something is certain, possible or impossible: My keys must be in the car. It might rain tomorrow. That can't be Peter's coat.
What's the difference between a modal and non modal view presentation?
The main difference lies in the way you can interact with each screen. While a Non-Modal Screen allows users to simply go back to the parent screen, the Modal Screen requires users to complete an action before returning to the main window (“save” in our example) or cancel the current action.
