# accessibilityDefaultFocus(_:_:)

Defines a region in which default accessibility focus is evaluated by
assigning a value to a given accessibility focus state binding.

```
nonisolated func accessibilityDefaultFocus<Value>(_ binding: AccessibilityFocusState<Value>.Binding, _ value: Value) -> some View where Value : Hashable
```

## Parameters

`binding`

An accessibility focus state binding to update when
evaluating default accessibility focus.

`value`

The value to set the binding to during evaluation.

## Discussion

Accessibility default focus is evaluated when a scene appears and an
accessibility technology like VoiceOver focuses on its content,
when an accessibility focus state binding update moves focus
automatically, and when the layout of a scene changes and the
accessibility technology must refocus on new content.

In the following example, an accessibility technology, like VoiceOver,
automatically lands on the title of the playlist as the most important
view to initially have focus on, rather than navigating through
all controls to understand what the primary content of the view is.

```
var body: some View {
    VStack {
        PlayerControls(currentSong: $currentSong)
        Text(playlist.title)
            .font(.title)
            .accessibilityFocused($focusedField, equals: .title)
        PlaylistEntries(entries: playlist.entries)
    }
    .accessibilityDefaultFocus($focusedField, .title)
}
```
