# title

The localized text that provides the notification’s primary description.

```
var title: String { get set }
```

## Discussion

Use this property to specify the title of your notification alert. If your app isn’t authorized to display alert-based notifications, the system ignores this property.

Title strings should be short, usually only a couple of words describing the reason for the notification. In watchOS, the system displays the title string as part of the short look notification interface, which has limited space.
