# photosPicker(isPresented:selection:matching:preferredItemEncoding:) Presents a Photos picker that selects a `PhotosPickerItem`. ``` nonisolated func photosPicker(isPresented: Binding, selection: Binding, matching filter: PHPickerFilter? = nil, preferredItemEncoding: PhotosPickerItem.EncodingDisambiguationPolicy = .automatic) -> some View ``` ## Parameters `isPresented` The binding to whether the Photos picker should be shown. `selection` The item being shown and selected in the Photos picker. `filter` Types of items that can be shown. Default is `nil`. Setting it to `nil` means all supported types can be shown. `preferredItemEncoding` The encoding disambiguation policy of the selected item. Default is `.automatic`. Setting it to `.automatic` means the best encoding determined by the system will be used. ## Discussion The user explicitly grants access only to items they choose, so photo library access authorization is not needed. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
