Swift - How is Instagram doing this?

Question

I'm trying to achieve something similar to what Instagram does when you click on 3 dots on the right of the screen under the picture. Here's what it looks like before you click the dots:

And here's what it looks like after:

Obviously my scrolling feed of pictures is a UITableView, but my question is, when I click the 3 dots and it brings up this second view with a list of options, is this another UITableView, or do you think they're just bringing up a UIView?

What is the best option to use in a scenario like this?

Have you looked at `UIActionSheet`? – Jonah Dec 15 '15 at 02:46 — Jonah, Dec 15 '15 at 02:46

In addition to O-mkar's answer, here is an open source Swift library for a UIActionController that is pretty customizable and up-to-date:

This is how your custom action sheet would look like, actually are examples contained in the github repository project.
