You can set lineLimit to nil for multiple lines.

struct ContentView : View {
        var body: some View {
             Text("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse est leo, vehicula eu eleifend non, auctor ut arcu")
              .lineLimit(nil)
        }
    }

Ensure that the `Text` is inside a container that has a known width – onmyway133 Sep 29 '20 at 04:33
