# isChosenHelper

Indicates whether the calling Hotspot Helper is the chosen helper for this network.

```
var isChosenHelper: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

The `NEHotspotNetwork` class must have been instantiated via a call to the `supportedNetworkInterfaces` method in the [`NEHotspotHelper`](/documentation/NetworkExtension/NEHotspotHelper) object. This property is useful for restoring state after the Hotspot Helper application has quit and restarted.
