# accessibilityLabel(_:)

Adds a label to the view that describes its contents.

```
@export(implementation) nonisolated func accessibilityLabel(_ label: LocalizedStringResource) -> ModifiedContent<Self, AccessibilityAttachmentModifier>
```

## Discussion

Use this method to provide an accessibility label for a view that
doesn’t display text, like an icon.
For example, you could use this method to label a button that plays
music with the text “Play”. Don’t include text in the label that repeats
information that users already have. For example, don’t use the label
“Play button” because a button already has a trait that identifies it
as a button.
