# deselectRow(at:animated:)

Deselects a row that an index path identifies, with an option to animate the deselection.

## Declaration

```swift
func deselectRow(at indexPath: IndexPath, animated: Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `indexPath`: An index path identifying a row in the table view.
- `animated`: doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true if you want to animate the deselection, and doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false if the change should be immediate.

## Discussion

Discussion Calling this method doesn’t cause the delegate to receive a tableView(_:willDeselectRowAt:) or tableView(_:didDeselectRowAt:) message, nor does it send selectionDidChangeNotification notifications to observers. Calling this method doesn’t cause any scrolling to the deselected row.
