The reason this happens is UIViewController’s property automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets, which is a Boolean value that indicates whether the view controller should automatically adjust its scroll view insets., and defaults to YES.

Solution:-

Either write below code in your viewDidLoad():

automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false

Or set it through storyboard/XIB whichever you use:
