# initiallyInteractive

A Boolean value indicating whether the transition started as an interactive transition.

```
var initiallyInteractive: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

The value of this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> when the transition was initiated interactively and the [`isAnimated`](/documentation/UIKit/UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext/isAnimated) property is also set to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>; otherwise, the value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>. The value of this property doesn’t change during the course of a transition. To determine whether the transition is currently interactive, use the [`isInteractive`](/documentation/UIKit/UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext/isInteractive) method instead.
