# hidden

A Boolean value that indicates the visibility of the SSID.

```
var hidden: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Set this value to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> to make the system perform an active scan for the Service Set Identifier (SSID). If the access point is already broadcasting the SSID, set this value to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.

The default value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
