# isConnected

A Boolean value that indicates whether you can use the continuity device because it’s connected to the system.

```
var isConnected: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

The value of the property can change from <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>, but not the reverse. Instead, the system creates a new [`AVContinuityDevice`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVContinuityDevice) instance when the same physical device reconnects to the system.
