# SuggestedActionsMessage.Participant

A sender or recipient of a message in a conversation.

## Declaration

```swift
struct Participant
```

## Overview

Overview Create a Participant by providing a display name, a handle that uniquely identifies the participant, and a Boolean value that indicates whether the participant is the user of this device. Common handles are phone numbers or email addresses, but you can use any string that uniquely identifies a participant within your app’s user identity system. To enable the Suggested Actions to tailor the suggested actions to the person who uses a device, make sure the isUser parameter of init(name:handle:isUser:) is true for the participant that uses the device. Set isUser to false for other participants. The following code snippet shows how an app can initialize a Participant who uses the current device and a second participant who sends a message from their own device to the first participant’s device: // The participant who uses this device. let user = SuggestedActionsMessage.Participant(     name: "Anne Johnson",     handle: "annejohnson1@icloud.com",     isUser: true )

// A second participant, usually contact in the conversation. let contact = SuggestedActionsMessage.Participant(     name: "Juan Chavez",     handle: "chavez4@icloud.com",     isUser: false )
