# UIRemoteNotificationType

Constants indicating the types of notifications the app may display to the user.

```
struct UIRemoteNotificationType
```

## Overview

One or more of the values in the `UIRemoteNotificationType` bit mask are passed to iOS as the argument of the [`registerForRemoteNotifications(matching:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIApplication/registerForRemoteNotifications(matching:)) method. Thereafter, iOS filters notifications for the app based on these values. You can always get the current notification types by calling the [`enabledRemoteNotificationTypes()`](/documentation/UIKit/UIApplication/enabledRemoteNotificationTypes()) method.
