Add padding around circular image view in swift 3?

@ViniApp This did not help at all. All it did was add a view over my entire image — ILoveToCode22, Sep 28 '17 at 01:17

To do this, I embedded my UIImageView in a UIView. I set the constraints so that the the UIImageview is always a certain distance inside the the UIView. Then I gave the UIView the following properties:

    view.backgroundColor = nil
    view.layer.cornerRadius = view.bounds.width / 2
    view.layer.borderWidth = 1
    view.layer.borderColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
