# setHidden(_:)

Hides or shows the interface object in your user interface.

```
func setHidden(_ hidden: Bool)
```

## Parameters

`hidden`

A Boolean value indicating the visibility of the object. Specify <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> to hide the object. Specify <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> to show it.

## Discussion

When you hide or show an object in your interface, WatchKit makes a note to update the layout during the next refresh cycle. During that cycle, WatchKit adjusts the layout to display only the currently visible objects.
