Place Text in Top part of UIlabel

I have a UILabel that covers most of the view. When I place text in the label, the text is center in the middle of the label. I have tried everything by playing around with the options in the attributes inspector, however the text wont start in the top area of the label, instead it appears in the middle of the label.

This is what happens

Is there any way to places the text in the top part of the label??

(If someones is wondering, yes I want the UILabel to cover most of the view because some texts are longer then others, and some are shorter, and I would prefer the text to be placed on the top part and not the middle of the UIlLabel.)

UILabel has an intrinsicContentSize matching the text contents. If you don't constrain the height, then it will automatically adjust. So you don't need to make it cover the entire view.

Instead, tag it onto the top with a fixed distance. Specify the bottom distance with greater-than-or-equal. This way the label can grow until it reaches the lower limit and then the text will begin to be truncated.
