# adjustsImageWhenAncestorFocused

A Boolean value that determines whether the image view responds when an ancestor gains focus.

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

## Discussion

When the value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> and an ancestor of the image view becomes focused, the image view adjusts the frame of its image using the [`focusedFrameGuide`](/documentation/UIKit/UIImageView/focusedFrameGuide) property. On supported Apple TV devices, setting this property to true renders the image with a Liquid Glass effect when it gains focus.

The default value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
