How to add line break for UILabel?


Use \n as you are using in your string.

Set numberOfLines to 0 to allow for any number of lines.

label.numberOfLines = 0;

Update the label frame to match the size of the text using sizeWithFont:. If you don't do this your text will be vertically centered or cut off.

UILabel *label; // set frame to largest size you want...CGSize labelSize = [label.text sizeWithFont:label.font                          constrainedToSize:label.frame.size                              lineBreakMode:label.lineBreakMode];label.frame = CGRectMake(    label.frame.origin.x, label.frame.origin.y,     label.frame.size.width, labelSize.height);

Update : Replacement for deprecated

sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode:

Reference, Replacement for deprecated sizeWithFont: in iOS 7?

CGSize labelSize = [label.text sizeWithAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:label.font}];label.frame = CGRectMake(    label.frame.origin.x, label.frame.origin.y,     label.frame.size.width, labelSize.height);

Use option-return when typing in the little box in Interface Builder to insert a line feed (\n). In Interface Builder's Label attributes, set # Lines = 0.

Select the label and then change Lines property to 0 like in the above image, and then use \n in your string for line break.


In the interface builder, you can use Ctrl + Enter to insert /n to the position you want.This way could implement the following situation
