# fetchCollectionListsContaining(_:options:) Retrieves collection lists that contain the specified collection. ``` class func fetchCollectionListsContaining(_ collection: PHCollection, options: PHFetchOptions?) -> PHFetchResult ``` ## Parameters `collection` An asset collection or another collection list. `options` Options that specify a filter predicate and sort order for the fetched collection lists, or `nil` to use default options. For details, see [`PHFetchOptions`](/documentation/Photos/PHFetchOptions). ## Return Value A fetch result that contains the requested [`PHCollectionList`](/documentation/Photos/PHCollectionList) objects, or an empty fetch result if no objects match the request. ## Discussion Different kinds of collections have different containment possibilities. For example, an asset collection whose type is [`PHAssetCollectionType.album`](/documentation/Photos/PHAssetCollectionType/album) may be contained in a folder, or have no containing collection list. A folder, in turn, may be contained in another folder. An asset collection whose type is [`PHAssetCollectionType.moment`](/documentation/Photos/PHAssetCollectionType/moment) is always contained by two collection lists: a moment cluster and a moment year. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
