# hidesOthers

A Boolean value indicating whether you want to hide all apps except the one that launched.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion The default value of this property is false, which leaves the visibility of other apps unchanged. Setting the property to true hides all apps except the one that launched.
