Hey there,

it is possible to add an action to an UIImageView?
Or do I have to place a button around it?

What sort of action? You can add any of the gesture recognizers to UIImageView.

A simple example:

Code Block import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
		@IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!
		
		override func viewDidLoad() {
				super.viewDidLoad()
				let tapGR = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.imageTapped))
				imageView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGR)
				imageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
		}
		@objc func imageTapped(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
				if sender.state == .ended {
						print("UIImageView tapped")
				}
		}
}
