Ah yea, I only render text so I already do this by just having the webview background be fully transparent and an opacity animation that fades the text in once the view is loaded. Just silly that it takes a fraction of a second to load some text when it should be instant. Cheers for the idea though

To add, my web view is the main view of a new screen when navigated to, so I can only load it at that point and not just hide it in the background before being visible.

I see hahaha genuinely one of these days then 😭
