Please set your mode using following property as per your requirement :

@property(nonatomic) UIDatePickerMode datePickerMode

Change your mode in your button actions appropriately.

For example, lets say you have UIDatePicker *datePicker;

you can set mode using below code :

datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeTime;

It's very simple.

There is one property in UIDatePicker:

@property (nonatomic) UIDatePickerMode datePickerMode;

Use this property to change picker type.

Picker type are as follows:

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, UIDatePickerMode) {
    UIDatePickerModeTime,           // Displays hour, minute, and optionally AM/PM designation depending on the locale setting (e.g. 6 | 53 | PM)
    UIDatePickerModeDate,           // Displays month, day, and year depending on the locale setting (e.g. November | 15 | 2007)
    UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime,    // Displays date, hour, minute, and optionally AM/PM designation depending on the locale setting (e.g. Wed Nov 15 | 6 | 53 | PM)
    UIDatePickerModeCountDownTimer, // Displays hour and minute (e.g. 1 | 53)
};

Use either of these approaches.

If you are using Storyboard approach, you can simply set the mode to Time.
If you are using the code based approach

NSDatePicker *datePicker = [[NSDatePicker alloc] init]; datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeTime; ...
