So I had made numberOfLines as 0 and had given lineBreakMode as WordWrap and had given proper constraints too.

What worked was changing the preferred width setting to automatic from explicit. i.e. from this:-

try this 

lbl.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

lbl.numberOfLines = 0;

if you want to manually calculate the height

 lbl.numberOfLines = 0; // allows label to have as many lines as needed
lbl.text =@"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
CGSize labelSize = [ lbl.text sizeWithFont: lbl.font constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(300, 300)  lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

// set the frame of labels here

else you can directly placed in Attribute

enter image description here

swift3

lbl.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
lbl.numberOfLines = 0

// allows label to have as many lines as needed
lbl.text = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
var labelSize = lbl.text.size(with: lbl.font, constrainedToSize: CGSize(width: 300, height: 300), lineBreakMode: .byWordWrapping)
// set the frame of labels here  }

All answers may helpful. but uses old approach.

can't you add Constraint to your view ?

It will be really easy to set layout constraint, and then you go.

Use this method. May Help

-(CGSize)getLabelSize:(NSString *)text
{

    UIFont *cellFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:14.0];
    CGSize constraintSize = CGSizeMake(300.0f, MAXFLOAT);
    CGSize labelSize = [text sizeWithFont:cellFont constrainedToSize:constraintSize lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
    return labelSize;

}
