```

## Discussion

When the value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the fetch returns [`CNMutableContact`](/documentation/Contacts/CNMutableContact) objects; otherwise it returns [`CNContact`](/documentation/Contacts/CNContact) objects. The default value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
