# viewDidAppear(_:)

Notifies the view controller that its view was added to a view hierarchy.

```
func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool)
```

## Parameters

`animated`

If <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the view was added to the window using an animation.

## Discussion

You can override this method to perform additional tasks associated with presenting the view. If you override this method, you must call `super` at some point in your implementation.

> Note:
> If a view controller is presented by a view controller inside of a popover, this method is not invoked on the presenting view controller after the presented controller is dismissed.
