# init(content:)

nonisolated init(@ContentBuilder content: () -> Content)
```

## Parameters

- `content`: A view that represents the content of the scene.

## Discussion

Discussion Use Settings(content:) to add a preferences scene when you declare your app using the App protocol. The example below shows the view content for the settings scene added to the SwiftUI app delegate: @main struct MacSwiftUISnippets: App {     var body: some Scene {         WindowGroup {             ContentView()         }         #if os(macOS)         Settings {             SettingsView()         }         #endif     } } When you use an App declaration for multiple platforms, compile the settings scene only in macOS, as shown in the example above.
