# UIAlertAction

An action that can be taken when the user taps a button in an alert.

You use this class to configure information about a single action, including the title to display in the button, any styling information, and a handler to execute when the user taps the button. After creating an alert action object, add it to a [`UIAlertController`](/documentation/UIKit/UIAlertController) object before displaying the corresponding alert to the user.
