# setPredictionMode(_:for:)

## setPredictionMode(_:for:)

setPredictionMode(_:for:) Instance Method of INUpcomingMediaManager Suggests how Siri should predict media intent shortcuts.

``` func setPredictionMode(_ mode: INUpcomingMediaPredictionMode, for type: INMediaItemType) ```

Parameters

- **mode**: The prediction mode that Siri should use for your media intent shortcuts. - **type**: The media type for this prediction mode.

Discussion

Apps such as podcast apps that want Siri to show only the suggested shortcuts—those set in the [setSuggestedMediaIntents(_:)](/documentation/intents/inupcomingmediamanager/setsuggestedmediaintents(_:)) method and not media intents donated by your app for media the user has listened to or watched—should use the [INUpcomingMediaPredictionMode.onlyPredictSuggestedIntents](/documentation/intents/inupcomingmediapredictionmode/onlypredictsuggestedintents) prediction mode. To tell Siri to show both donated and suggested media intent shortcuts associated with your app, use the [INUpcomingMediaPredictionMode.default](/documentation/intents/inupcomingmediapredictionmode/default) mode or don’t set any prediction mode for the media type.
