# isHidden

Returns a Boolean value indicating the state of the identity’s hidden property.

```
var isHidden: Bool { get }
```

## Return Value

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if the identity is hidden; <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> if it is not.

## Discussion

A hidden identity does not show up in the Identity Picker. A hidden identity refers to system identities such as `root`, `www`, and `wheel`.
