# autoupdatingCurrent

A calendar that tracks changes to user’s preferred calendar.

```
class var autoupdatingCurrent: Calendar { get }
```

## Return Value

The current logical calendar for the current user.

## Discussion

Settings you get from this calendar do change as the user’s settings change (contrast with [`current`](/documentation/Foundation/NSCalendar/current)).

Note that if you cache values based on the calendar or related information those caches will of course not be automatically updated by the updating of the calendar object.

## See Also

[`init(calendarIdentifier:)`](/documentation/Foundation/NSCalendar/init(calendarIdentifier:))

[`calendarIdentifier`](/documentation/Foundation/NSCalendar/calendarIdentifier)

An identifier for the calendar.
