# fetchMoments(with:)

Retrieves asset collections corresponding to moments seen in the Photos app.

```
class func fetchMoments(with options: PHFetchOptions?) -> PHFetchResult<PHAssetCollection>
```

## Parameters

`options`

Options that specify a filter predicate and sort order for the fetched asset collections, or `nil` to use default options. For details, see [`PHFetchOptions`](/documentation/Photos/PHFetchOptions).

## Return Value

A fetch result that contains the requested [`PHAssetCollection`](/documentation/Photos/PHAssetCollection) objects, or an empty fetch result if no objects match the request.

## Discussion
