# sessions() Returns the sessions for this activity as an asynchronous sequence. ``` static func sessions() -> Self.Sessions ``` ## Return Value An `AsyncSequence` type that contains the [`GroupSession`](/documentation/GroupActivities/GroupSession) objects for this activity. ## Discussion Use this method to retrieve new sessions for the current activity. The method returns a sequence that may contain some or none of its values when you access it. The system adds an element to the sequence when the participant joins a new activity. It doesn’t update the sequence when properties of an active session change. For example, it doesn’t update the sequence when the state of the session changes. Use a `for`-`in` loop to iterate over the values in the sequence. Preface your loop with `await` to receive each value asynchronously as it becomes available. To avoid blocking your code, perform the iteration from an asynchronous task in your app. The following example shows a typical way to call this method asynchronously: ``` async { for await newSession in MyActivity.sessions() { // Start a new activity. } } ``` When a new session arrives, use it to prepare your app’s UI for the new activity. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
