iOS Auto-Layout UILabel wrapping

I'm trying to get my subtitle label to wrap, but it always remains one line with truncated text. I have it so the subtitle has a top constraint of 5px to the title/SignIn label, and 20px to the separator.

I've been working with Content Hugging and Compression Resistance but I haven't been able to figure it out.

If I remove the bottom constraint, the label becomes 3 lines as desired, but overlaps the separator (i.e. the content doesn't get pushed down).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, auto updating my project's settings and restarting Xcode/Simulator had something to do with it!

Everything seems to be working now (with the following settings for the subtitle):

  • Content hugging has been set to: h=251 & v=251

  • Content compression resistance has been set to: h=750 & v=750

  • Number of Lines has been set to: 0

  • Line Break Mode has been set to: Truncate Tail

  • "Bottom space to separator" constraint has been set to: Equals 20

  • "Top space to sign in label" constraint has been set to: Equals 5

Set lines to 0. Then enlarge the label to fit in the required lines of code i.e, increase the height of the label on storyboard. Then set the height constraint of the label from the pin menu to that height.
