# direction

The direction in which information flowed to or from the device.

## Declaration

```swift
var direction: INInteractionDirection { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this property to convey whether the interaction involved information moving to or from the current device. For example, starting a video call from this device indicates an outgoing interaction, which means you should set this property to INInteractionDirection.outgoing. The default value of this property is INInteractionDirection.unspecified.
