# dismiss(animated:)

Dismisses the picker.

## Declaration

```swift
func dismiss(animated: Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `animated`: doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true to animate the dismissal of the picker or doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false to remove it without animations.

## Discussion

Discussion This method dismisses a picker that you previously presented. When using this method to dismiss a picker, the picker does not call the printerPickerControllerWillDismiss(_:) or printerPickerControllerDidDismiss(_:) methods of your delegate object. User interactions with the picker can also dismiss the picker automatically. For example, if the user selects a printer or cancels the picker, the picker dismisses itself automatically. Use this method to dismiss a picker programmatically in response to other events in your app.
