# showsNativeControls

The value of this property indicates whether the Apple-provided playback controls are enabled for the user.

## Declaration

```data
attribute Boolean showsNativeControls;
```

## Discussion

Discussion Assigning this property changes the visibility of the controls. If the value of this property is false, playback is controllable only by directly invoking play, pause, and so on. To invoke these controls, you need to add custom event listeners. Declarative markup attribute: data-shows-native-controls
