# How to update a specific cell of UICollectionView?

I have created an app on iPhone using UICollectionView. My [problem](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81399/tackling-the-problem-of-unemployment-during-corona-pandemic) is I want to [update](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/156353/what-is-hummingbird-update) a specific cell inside a UICollectionView. I am using [self.collectionView reloadData] method. But this is not the solution because it will [reload](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/224/title-reload-assembly-to-extend-with-new-types) whole [collection view](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33803/how-to-set-collection-view-cell-size-in-ios).\
Can [anyone tell me](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/23033/can-anyone-tell-me-about-hadoop-toolbox) how can I update specific cell inside the collection view without reloading whole collection view?

To update the specific cell of [collection](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1718/collections-in-java) [view](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/84701/layoffs-in-google-india-2023-view), you can use the method: **reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:**, it will reload the specific indexPaths in our collection view.

```
-(void)reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:(NSArray*)indexPaths
```

I hope the above method is helpful for you.
