To go off of Thapa s answer  you need to cast to the viewcontroller class before using         if let wd   self view window           var vc   wd rootViewController          if vc is UINavigationController               vc    vc as  UINavigationController  visibleViewController                   if vc is customViewController               var viewController   customViewController   vc as  customViewController

Swift 3   Check if a view controller is the root from within itself   You can access window from within a view controller  you just need to use self view window   Context  I need to update the position of a view and trigger an animation when the device is rotated  I only want to do this if the view controller is active   class MyViewController  UIViewController        override func viewDidLoad             super viewDidLoad            NotificationCenter default addObserver              self               selector   selector deviceDidRotate                name   UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientation               object  nil                      func deviceDidRotate             guard let window   self view window else   return               check if self is root view controller         if window rootViewController    self               print  vc is self                         check if root view controller is instance of MyViewController         if window rootViewController is MyViewController               print  vc is MyViewController                       If you rotate your device while MyViewController is active  you will see the above lines print to the console  If MyViewController is not active  you will not see them   If you re curious why I m using UIDeviceOrientationDidChange instead of  UIDeviceOrientationDidChange  look at this answer

For types you can use is and if it is your own viewcontroller class then you need to use isKindOfClass like   let vcOnTop   self embeddedNav viewControllers self embeddedNav viewControllers count-1              if vcOnTop isKindOfClass VcShowDirections                   return

Swift 3  Not sure about you guys  but I m having a hard time with this one  I did something like this   if let window   UIApplication shared delegate  window       if var viewController   window  rootViewController              handle navigation controllers         if viewController is UINavigationController               viewController    viewController as  UINavigationController  visibleViewController                    print viewController            I kept getting the initial view controller of my app  For some reason it wanted to stay the root view controller no matter what  So I just made a global string type variable currentViewController and set its value myself in each viewDidLoad    All I needed was to tell which screen I was on  amp  this works perfectly for me
