```

## Discussion

> Important:
> This property is available in iOS 12.5, and in iOS 13.5 and later.

You can use key value observing to monitor for changes. The value of this property will be `NO` until [`activate(completionHandler:)`](/documentation/ExposureNotification/ENManager/activate(completionHandler:)) completes successfully.

Note that even if the user enables exposure notifications, they may be inactive for other reasons, such as if the user turns off Bluetooth service. The [`exposureNotificationStatus`](/documentation/ExposureNotification/ENManager/exposureNotificationStatus) property can be monitored for the status of exposure notifications.
