# defaultToolTip

The text that appears in a tooltip by default.

```
var defaultToolTip: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Set this property to the default text to display in the tooltip.

If you set the [`delegate`](/documentation/UIKit/UIToolTipInteraction/delegate) property to an object that conforms to the [`UIToolTipInteractionDelegate`](/documentation/UIKit/UIToolTipInteractionDelegate) protocol and implements the [`toolTipInteraction(_:configurationAt:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIToolTipInteractionDelegate/toolTipInteraction(_:configurationAt:)) method, then the return value of the delegate method determines the text that appears in the tooltip.
