What is the point of a loading screen?

This thread is a few years old. Some details may refer to an earlier version of Visionaire Studio. Current tutorials

  Does Vis. automatically place the loading screen when something is loading, or is it just an aesthetic thing?
  Thanks

  And if no loading screen is made, will it just freeze for a few seconds?
  Thanks

  Simon told me (if I remember correctly) that it's more useful for mobile builds, other than that it's more of an aesthetic thing. Normally the screen will be black until your first scene / menu fades in.
