Break line on max width text UILabel swift 2

I'm currently trying to make an app that takes the usernames of some people and print them out in a custom cell, inside a label. But if a user has the name "John Goodwilkinson" It's a large name, so i'm trying to figure out how to make a 

/n

Between the 2 words.

Does anyone has any idea? I've googled but couldnt find anything at all. Below you can see the screenshots with my code and the suggestions of the fellows :)

Also i have tried to put the code in the view controller that i call the custom cell like this

 cell.frndName.numberOfLines = 0
 cell.frndName.lineBreakMode = .ByWordWrapping

But it didn't work either

You have to increase height of your UILabel and apply constant only for its width.

second thing you can add @“\n” by NSString *newUsername = [oldUsername stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@“\n”];

it will replace all spaces between two words by @“\n” and next word will show in next line.

You can do that by setting the number of lines to the label to be 2 or 0 (if you wnat to be any number) and line breaks to be word wrap. Link this

Update after checking you UI. It ended up that removing the height/ width constraints and pinning the label from the bottom/ right the other controllers solved the problem.
