# UIFocusUpdateContext

An object that provides information relevant to a specific focus update from one view to another.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor class UIFocusUpdateContext
```

## Overview

Overview Focus update context objects are ephemeral and are usually discarded after the update is finished. The UIFocus APIs create a single high-level software interface for controlling focus in apps that use focus-based input.
