```

## Discussion

Discussion Transient asset collections are not saved to local storage or iCloud and do not appear in the Photos app or other apps using the Photos framework. A transient collection can be useful if you’ve designed a UI for displaying the contents of a collection and want to display an arbitrary set of assets.
