# entersReaderIfAvailable

A value that specifies whether Safari should enter Reader mode, if it is available.

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

## Discussion

Set the value to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if Reader mode should be entered automatically when it is available for the webpage; otherwise, <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>. The default value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>. Set this configuration property instead of initializing a view controller with [`init(url:entersReaderIfAvailable:)`](/documentation/SafariServices/SFSafariViewController/init(url:entersReaderIfAvailable:)-3aatz).
