# Swift Default Value in String Interpolations

**[Use Your Loaf](https://daily.dev/sources/useyourloaf)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Swift 6.2 introduces a new default value parameter for string interpolation that allows developers to provide fallback strings for optional values without type constraints.

However, the feature currently has limitations with localization as LocalizedStringKey doesn't support the default parameter.
