# stronglyReferencesTextStorage

A Boolean value that indicates whether instances of the class operate in the object ownership policy.

## Declaration

```swift
class var stronglyReferencesTextStorage: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is true. Under the policy, each text view strongly retains its text storage and its text container weakly references the view. In addition, the text views are compatible with __weak storage.
