# usesThreadedAnimation

A Boolean that indicates whether the progress indicator implements animation in a separate thread.

## Declaration

```swift
var usesThreadedAnimation: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When the value of this property is true, animation of the progress indicator occurs in a separate thread. If the app becomes multithreaded as a result of an invocation of this method, the app’s performance could become noticeably slower.
