# isRunning

A Boolean value indicating whether the animation is currently running.

```
var isRunning: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

This property reflects whether the animation is running either in the forward or reverse direction. The value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> only after a call to the [`startAnimation()`](/documentation/UIKit/UIViewAnimating/startAnimation()) method. The value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> when the animator is paused or stopped.
