# estimatedAssetCount

The estimated number of assets in the asset collection.

## Declaration

```swift
var estimatedAssetCount: Int { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This count may not match the current number of assets in the collection. To get the most recent count, fetch the collection’s assets with the fetchAssets(in:options:) method and read the count property of the fetch result. If asset count information is not available for the collection, this property’s value is NSNotFound.
