# fetchAssets(with:)

Retrieves all assets matching the specified options.

## Declaration

```swift
class func fetchAssets(with options: PHFetchOptions?) -> PHFetchResult<PHAsset>
```

## Parameters

- `options`: Options that specify a filter predicate and sort order for the fetched assets, or nil to use default options. For details, see doc://com.apple.photokit/documentation/Photos/PHFetchOptions.

## Mentioned in

Observing Changes in the Photo Library

## Return Value

Return Value A fetch result that contains the requested PHAsset objects, or an empty fetch result if no objects match the request.

## Discussion

Discussion By default, fetch results do not include photos synced to the device through iTunes or stored in iCloud Shared Albums. To change this behavior, use the includeAssetSourceTypes property in the options parameter.
