# content

The updated content of the forwarded Live Activity.

```
let content: AccessoryLiveActivity.Content?
```

## Overview

If a Live Activity update only changes the activity’s [`state`](/documentation/AccessoryLiveActivities/AccessoryLiveActivity/state) and doesn’t contain updated data, the `content`
property is `nil`. If the `content` property isn’t `nil`, check the [`alert`](/documentation/AccessoryLiveActivities/AccessoryLiveActivity/Content-swift.struct/alert)
to determine whether the update requires you to render a notification-style alert on your accessory.
