How to set dynamic height of cell based on content

I am have an app which requires to display user comments within a table cell. How can I set the dynamic height of the cell based on the contents of the cell like in Instagram?

enter image description here

Basically, I have texts and comments that have different length in different cells. Can anyone advise me on how I can implement the dynamic height method (like instagram)?

Check the UITableViewDelegate documentation. 

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView 
                                heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

Bear in mind you can't reference the cell from this method, so you want to calculate the height of the contents separately and use it to generate the height.

You should give a look at three20 library source code, which offers complex cells like you want to do. It might give you answers on how to do this, even if you do not intend to use it:
