How can I make UITextField always centered on the screen?

I'm making an app in which I add people to a list by using a modal VC, that currently has only three text fields.

Problem: This is what I see in the interface builder, inside my Main.storyboard file:

I'm running Xcode version 6.2 (6C131e) and the app I'm making will be for iPod touch only, so I disabled auto-size classes. I'm expecting those text fields to be at the center of the screen (same distance from text field lateral border to screen edges). Instead I get this on the simulator:

Question: How can I set an equal distance for both the sides of text fields? Any resource like tutorials, examples, guides are appreciated, because I am a very beginner in iOS programming. If this can be done with interface builder for me is better then programmatically.

If you are not using Autolayout then the default Autoresizing property should be

Change the Autoresizing property to this :

As simple as this:

In the Align menu from the bottom of interface builder if you set this constraint to 0 it will be the center of the view

Select First Textfield

Goto Pin-> Uncheck constraints to Margin-> Select Top,Left,right constraints with default value(or change if want ex. 16 left,right,30 top).

For Second and Third Textfield Goto Pin->Uncheck constraints to Margin->Select Top,Left,right constraints

I just take horizontally as example. You have two ways to make it in the centre. 1. Make leading space equals trailing space.

Make the textfield center horizontally in container view.

I recommend you can study with raywenderlich tutorial. http://www.raywenderlich.com/50317/beginning-auto-layout-tutorial-in-ios-7-part-1
