# title

The string containing the annotation’s title.

```
optional var title: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

Use this optional property to supply a string that the annotation displays in the callout for the associated annotation view. If you specify a [`detailCalloutAccessoryView`](/documentation/MapKit/MKAnnotationView/detailCalloutAccessoryView) object, setting the title isn’t required.
