# addArrangedSubview(_:)

Adds a view to the end of the arranged subviews array.

```
func addArrangedSubview(_ view: UIView)
```

## Parameters

`view`

The view to add to the array of views arranged by the stack.

## Discussion

The stack view ensures that the [`arrangedSubviews`](/documentation/UIKit/UIStackView/arrangedSubviews) array is always a subset of its [`subviews`](/documentation/UIKit/UIView/subviews) array. This method automatically adds the provided view as a subview of the stack view, if it isn’t already. If the view is already a subview, this operation doesn’t alter the subview ordering.

## See Also

[`removeFromSuperview()`](/documentation/UIKit/UIView/removeFromSuperview())

Unlinks the view from its superview and its window, and removes it from the responder chain.

[`init(arrangedSubviews:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIStackView/init(arrangedSubviews:))

Returns a new stack view object that manages the provided views.
