Saving and retrieving a bool with UserDefaults

Question

I\'m trying to save a bool value to UserDefaults from a UISwitch, and retrieve it in another view. However, I\'ve tried following multiple tutorials and stack answe

Answer 1

As Leo mentioned in the comments bool(forKey returns a non-optional Bool. If the key does not exist false is returned.

So it's simply

boolValue = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "sound")

Calling synchronize() as suggested in other answers is not needed. The framework updates the user defaults database periodically.
