# cellForRow(at:) Returns the table cell at the index path you specify. ``` func cellForRow(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell? ``` ## Parameters `indexPath` The index path locating the row in the table view. ## Return Value The cell object at the corresponding index path. In versions of iOS earlier than iOS 15, this method returns `nil` if the cell isn’t visible or if `indexPath` is out of range. In iOS 15 and later, this method returns a non-`nil` cell if the table view retains a prepared cell at the specified index path, even if the cell isn’t currently visible. ## Discussion In iOS 15 and later, the table view retains a prepared cell in the following situations: - Cells that the table view prefetches and retains in its cache of prepared cells, but that aren’t visible because the table view hasn’t displayed them yet. - Cells that the table view finishes displaying and continues to retain in its cache of prepared cells because they remain near the visible region and might scroll back into view. - The cell that contains the first responder. - The cell that has focus. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
