# isPresented A Boolean value that indicates whether the view associated with this environment is currently presented. ``` var isPresented: Bool { get } ``` ## Discussion You can read this value like any of the other [`EnvironmentValues`](/documentation/SwiftUI/EnvironmentValues) by creating a property with the [`Environment`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Environment) property wrapper: ``` @Environment(\.isPresented) private var isPresented ``` Read the value inside a view if you need to know when SwiftUI presents that view. For example, you can take an action when SwiftUI presents a view by using the [`onChange(of:initial:_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/onChange(of:initial:_:)) modifier: ``` .onChange(of: isPresented) { _, isPresented in if isPresented { // Do something when first presented. } } ``` This behaves differently than [`onAppear(perform:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/onAppear(perform:)), which SwiftUI can call more than once for a given presentation, like when you navigate back to a view that’s already in the navigation hierarchy. To dismiss the currently presented view, use [`dismiss`](/documentation/SwiftUI/EnvironmentValues/dismiss). --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
