# isDestructive

A Boolean value indicating whether the action is destructive.

```
var isDestructive: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Use this property to signal to the user whether the action causes destructive behavior to the user’s data or the app. When the value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the system displays the corresponding button differently to indicate that the action is destructive.

The default value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
