# ShieldActionResponse.defer

An instruction to defer a response to the action.

## Declaration

```swift
case `defer`
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use defer to delay an immediate response to a shield action; for example, if your extension on a client device sends a remote request to a parent or guardian’s device. When you specify this option, the shield redraws its UI, which gives your extension on the client device an opportunity to reconfigure the shield’s appearance.
