# How to get last modified date using ALAsset class in iOS

I want to get the last modified [date](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/3869/propose-day-2024-exciting-date-ideas-for-you-and-your-partner) from ALAsset type [video](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/290133/6-necessary-preparations-you-need-before-editing-a-video)?\
I tried with:\
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:[[[[asset defaultRepresentation] [metadata](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/334241/the-power-of-metadata-how-it-shapes-google-search-results)] objectForKey:@"{TIFF}"] objectForKey:@"[DateTime](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12949/how-to-validate-if-a-datetime-field-is-not-null-empty)"]];\
but metadata is coming empty for a video.\
Please help me.

I have searched there is no such property for finding last updated date how ever there is a property for Created date.\
For getting created date use code like this:

```
ALAsset* assetObj;NSDate* dateObj = [assetObj valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyDate];
```
