# UIScene.ActivationState.unattached

A state that indicates that the scene is not currently connected to your app.

## Declaration

```swift
case unattached
```

## Discussion

Discussion A scene starts in the unattached state and remains in that state until the system sends a connection notification to it. A scene reenters the attached state when the user dismisses the interface from the app switcher or to reclaim its resources.
