# accessibilityAction(named:_:)

Adds an accessibility action to the view. Actions allow assistive technologies, such as the VoiceOver, to interact with the view by invoking the action.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func accessibilityAction(named name: Text, _ handler: @escaping () -> Void) -> ModifiedContent<Content, Modifier>
```

## Discussion

Discussion For example, this is how a custom action to compose a new email could be added to a view. var body: some View {     ContentView()         .accessibilityAction(named: Text("New Message")) {             // Handle action         } }
