# messages

The array of messages matching the search parameters.

```
var messages: [INMessage]? { get set }
```

## Discussion

For successful searches, use this property to return messages matching the search parameters. Provide as much information in each [`INMessage`](/documentation/Intents/INMessage) object as you can. Siri may present or read the message details to the user, depending on the messages and how Siri is communicating with the user.
