# localizedLocationNames

The names of locations grouped by the collection (an array of NSString objects).

## Declaration

```swift
var localizedLocationNames: [String] { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property applies only to asset collections whose type is PHAssetCollectionType.moment. The Photos app automatically creates moments to group assets by time and location. A moment might group assets captured in multiple locations, so this array can contain multiple names. For other asset collection types, this property’s value is nil.
