```

## Mentioned in

Adopting system selection UI in custom text views

## Discussion

Discussion When you install the interaction on your text input view, the system installs a view in this property that provides the standard system appearance for the caret at the insertion point. You can replace this view with a custom one you provide to change the appearance of the caret.
