I have an UILabel which has three constraints - top, left and right. It has some unnecessary space at the top and bottom. Do we've anyway to get rid of that space without setting a height constraint as I want height based on a font size? I'm attaching the image for reference. I want label text aligned with edges without any space or padding. I've tried many solutions from StackOverflow but nothing worked.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

  • That's not *"unnecessary space"* ... that's for the ascenders and descenders. If you want to clip to the **glyphs** you'll need to use Core Text and work with the glyph data. – DonMag Mar 06 '21 at 20:46

You should set more than 251 huggingPriority value for a specific axis for your label.

To do it

  1. you should use the following method if you created label from code:

    func setContentHuggingPriority(_ priority: UILayoutPriority, for axis: NSLayoutConstraint.Axis)

  2. or you can set huggingPriority in Interface Builder in Size Inspector tab if you created label from InterfaceBuilder enter image description here
