# isTorchAvailable

A Boolean value that indicates whether the torch is currently available for use.

## Declaration

var isTorchAvailable: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The torch may become unavailable if, for example, the device overheats and needs to cool off. This property is key-value observable.
