Compiles under   Swift 3  This example contains most of the syntax that we need   QoS - new quality of service syntax  weak self - to disrupt retain cycles  if self is not available  do nothing  async global utility queue - for network query  does not wait for the result  it is a concurrent queue  the block  usually  does not wait when started  Exception for a concurrent queue could be  when its task limit has been previously reached  then the queue temporarily turns into a serial queue and waits until some previous task in that queue completes   async main queue - for touching the UI  the block does not wait for the result  but waits for its slot at the start  The main queue is a serial queue   Of course  you need to add some error checking to this     DispatchQueue global qos   utility  async    weak self     - gt  Void in      guard let strongSelf   self else   return        strongSelf flickrPhoto loadLargeImage   loadedFlickrPhoto  error in          if error    nil               print  error   error              else               DispatchQueue main async      - gt  Void in                 activityIndicator removeFromSuperview                   strongSelf imageView image   strongSelf flickrPhoto largeImage

Since the OP question has already been answered above I just want to add some speed considerations   It makes a lot of difference what priority class you assign to your async function in DispatchQueue global   I don t recommend running tasks with the  background thread priority especially on the iPhone X where the task seems to be allocated on the low power cores   Here is some real data from a computationally intensive function that reads from an XML file  with buffering  and performs data interpolation   Device name    background    utility    default    userInitiated    userInteractive   iPhone X  18 7s   6 3s   1 8s   1 8s   1 8s iPhone 7  4 6s   3 1s   3 0s   2 8s   2 6s iPhone 5s  7 3s   6 1s   4 0s   4 0s   3 8s   Note that the data set is not the same for all devices  It s the biggest on the iPhone X and the smallest on the iPhone 5s
