Set beginning of Separator Lines in UITableView?

Question

A UITableView has seperator lines as shown in the following image. They do not start at the beginning of the row. See the red box in the image. I want to change where they start.

enter image description here

How can I specify where the separator lines in a table view begin?

Add Table View Separator Insets to Zero.

enter image description here

Add this code in cellForRowAtIndexPath:

if (cell.respondsToSelector("preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins")){
    cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero
    cell.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false
}

See the preview :

What do you mean by " Not Just for Table View Cell"? – Michael Jun 13 '15 at 14:30
Select tableview not the cell. @confile – Ashish Kakkad Jun 13 '15 at 14:31
Why do I set the separator for the Table as well as for the TableViewCell? What is the difference? – Michael Jun 13 '15 at 14:32
@confile just set to tableview, don't set to cell :) That what I want to say – Ashish Kakkad Jun 13 '15 at 14:34
In which cases do I have to set it to the cell? – Michael Jun 13 '15 at 14:39
Please explain why you use ``preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins``for the cell. – Michael Jun 13 '15 at 14:39
I am not the person that explain the things. I just belong to the outputs. @confile Hope the answer will work for you. – Ashish Kakkad Jun 13 '15 at 16:48
