# view

The view to which touches are being delivered, if any.

## Declaration

```swift
var view: UIView? { get }
```

## Mentioned in

Using responders and the responder chain to handle events

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this property is the view object to which touches are being delivered, which is not necessarily the view the touch is currently in. For example, when a gesture recognizer recognizes the touch, this property is nil because no view is receiving the touch.
