Confirmation is best delivered using an alert dialog.

Alert dialog

When a user interface (UI) requests confirmation, it asks users if they want to proceed with the action they just took. This confirmation may be paired with warnings or critical information related to the action. Confirmation is unnecessary when the consequences of an action are reversible or negligible, such as when a checkmark shows that an image has been selected.

Confirmation and acknowledgment are communication patterns that keep users informed about their actions. A confirmation asks the user to verify intent before an action is carried out; an acknowledgment tells the user that a chosen action has already completed successfully.
