# init(wrappedValue:) Creates a state property that stores an initial wrapped value. ``` init(wrappedValue value: Value) ``` ## Parameters `value` An initial value to store in the state property. ## Discussion You don’t call this initializer directly. Instead, SwiftUI calls it for you when you declare a property with the `@State` attribute and provide an initial value: ``` struct MyView: View { @State private var isPlaying: Bool = false // ... } ``` SwiftUI initializes the state’s storage only once for each container instance that you declare. In the above code, SwiftUI creates `isPlaying` only the first time it initializes a particular instance of `MyView`. On the other hand, each instance of `MyView` creates a distinct instance of the state. For example, each of the views in the following [`VStack`](/documentation/SwiftUI/VStack) has its own `isPlaying` value: ``` var body: some View { VStack { MyView() MyView() } } ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
