How to break lines In UILabel?

I am trying to assign a text to the UILabel in UIViewController and my text is :

But when I insert it into label it looks like :

How can I achieve that? Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks In advance.

  • Do label.numberOfLines = 0; to allow for any number of lines.
  • Try to add \n where you need a line-break.

  • Update the label size to match the text size:

    CGSize labelSize = [label.text sizeWithFont:label.font constrainedToSize:label.frame.size lineBreakMode:label.lineBreakMode];

    label.frame = CGRectMake( label.frame.origin.x, label.frame.origin.y, label.frame.size.width, labelSize.height);

Option 1:-

Add it to a TextView instead of a UILabel

Option 2:-

Change the number of lines in your UILabel to 0, set the auto layout constraints properly and set preferredMaxLayoutWidth as follows:-

lbl.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = self.view.bounds.width
