Answer 1

UIButton contain ImageView, and when you assign image to UIImageView you can get is with its .image property

So for UIButton get ImageView and then Image

button.imageView?.image would give the image assigned to UIButton If your button have different image for state you can also use .

    button.image(for: .normal or what ever state)
    button.imageView?.image   

(Both will give same result if you set image with .normal)

@Rooh Al-mahaba You can access all property of UIImageView if you have UIButton object as UIButton contain an UIImageView to handle Image related part
