# didConnectNotification

A notification the system posts when a new screen connects to the device.

```
nonisolated class let didConnectNotification: NSNotification.Name
```

## Discussion

Connection notifications aren’t sent for screens that are already present when the app launches. The app can instead use the [`screens`](/documentation/UIKit/UIScreen/screens) method to get the current set of screens at launch time.

The object of the notification is the [`UIScreen`](/documentation/UIKit/UIScreen) object representing the new screen. There’s no `userInfo` dictionary.
