How to increase tapable (hitting) area of (custom Type) UIButton without increasing size of background image

Just two possibilities: either make a custom view or make the background invisible and really big. — Arc676, Dec 04 '15 at 13:41

The simplest way - change contentEdgeInsets property value

button.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 10);

are you sure we have to give positive value to increase the hit area ? – Shiva Apr 07 '17 at 07:44

if you are using icons to set in UIbutton. Then use image with 3 sizes.Like

  xyz.png
  xyz@2x.png
  xyz@3x.png

and set image xyz.png in image field not in background image.Then increase size of button.It will increase size of button not image size.
