# isGyroActive

A Boolean value that determines whether gyroscope updates are currently happening.

## Declaration

```swift
var isGyroActive: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property indicates whether startGyroUpdates(to:withHandler:) or startGyroUpdates() has been called since the last time stopGyroUpdates() was called. (If the start methods hadn’t been called, the app could be getting updates from the gyroscope after calling, for example, startDeviceMotionUpdates(), but this property would return false.)
