# startGyroUpdates()

Starts gyroscope updates without a handler.

```
func startGyroUpdates()
```

## Discussion

You can get the latest gyroscope data through the [`gyroData`](/documentation/CoreMotion/CMMotionManager/gyroData) property. You must call [`stopGyroUpdates()`](/documentation/CoreMotion/CMMotionManager/stopGyroUpdates()) when you no longer want your app to process gyroscope updates.
