# allowsEditing

A Boolean value that indicates whether the user is allowed to edit a selected still image or movie.

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

## Discussion

If you allow the user to edit still images or movies, the delegate may receive a dictionary with information about the edits that were made. The protocol for the delegate is described in [`UIImagePickerControllerDelegate`](/documentation/UIKit/UIImagePickerControllerDelegate).

This property is set to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> by default.
