Access all UILabel objects in a tableView cell

I have a ton of labels & web views in a cell which I want to hide when user is in portrait mode. I tried the following:

for subview in cell.subviews {

                print("i am a subview")
                if let label = subview as? UILabel {

                    label.hidden = true
                }
            }

I get three subviews but those are no UILabels. In general I have >10 Labels which is why this code does not seem to work. Any hints on how to access those Labels in a loop? Thanks...

For myself, I solved pretty same problem by declaring labelsArray: [UILabel] property in cell and adding pointers to label when creating to this array.

Other way - using tags. Since setting same tag to different views is bad style coding, you can provide some formulas: for example assume your labels will have tags 1000, 1001, 1002 ... . Then you can enumerate all labels by cycle, getting view with tag from 1000 until you will receive nil

You are accessing subviews of UITableViewCell but you need to get subviews of contentView of UITableViewCell.

For Example: cell.subviews[0].subviews will do.
