UILabel with dynamic height not working for same string in iOS

I using below code in my application to get dynamic height for UILabel.

CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(231, FLT_MAX);

    CGSize expectedLabelSize = [labelString
                            sizeWithFont:self.verbLabel.font
                            constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize
                            lineBreakMode:self.verbLabel.lineBreakMode];

    //adjust the label the the new height.
    CGRect newFrame = self.verbLabel.frame;
    newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;
    self.verbLabel.frame = newFrame;
    return newFrame;

My labelString is What if you asked a controversial public figure? What ideas might he/she suggest? So sometimes I'm able to show this whole string but sometimes it just cut the some text. How can I solve this ... please help me and let me know If am doing something wrong.

i'd advise you to use the following approach instead of the sizeWithFont: thing:

CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(231, FLT_MAX);
CGSize requiredSize = [self.verbLabel sizeThatFits: maximumLabelSize];
self.verbLabel.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, requiredSize.width, requiredSize.height);

This is much cleaner and will probably work better for you!

setting self.verbLabel.numberOfLines = 0; may be also beneficial.

Here's a good explanation why using sizeThatFits is better than using sizeWithFont.

Set numberOfLines to 0 to allow for any number of lines.

label.numberOfLines = 0;
