# leadingImage

The configuration’s image.

## Declaration

```swift
var leadingImage: UIImage? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Configurations are immutable. To change or remove the image that the message list item’s leading region shows, create a new configuration and update the list item’s leadingConfiguration property. A configuration’s image can’t be larger than CPMaximumMessageItemImageSize. If you use an animated image, this property returns the first image in the animation sequence.
