# dropFirst(_:) Omits a specified number of elements from the base asynchronous sequence, then passes through all remaining elements. ``` func dropFirst(_ count: Int = 1) -> AsyncDropFirstSequence ``` ## Discussion When you call `dropFirst(_:)` on an asynchronous sequence that is already an `AsyncDropFirstSequence`, the returned sequence simply adds the new drop count to the current drop count. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
