# target

The target object to receive action messages.

## Declaration

```occ
@property (nonatomic, assign, nullable) id target;
```

## Discussion

Discussion The target object receives action messages when the user taps a cell’s insert button, delete button, or accessory view. The default value is nil, which tells the application to go up the responder chain to find a target. Note that the target is a weak reference.
