# effectIsInteractive

Enables interactive glass behavior, which adds a visual response to user interactions.

```
var effectIsInteractive: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

This should be enabled for glass that is used as the background for interactive controls or when used as the container of interactive controls.

When `YES`, the glass effect will provide visual feedback when it is interacted with.
When `NO`, the glass effect remains static. The default value is `NO`.
