How to create scrollable TextView on iOS App?

To create a scrollable TextView in iOS we can do it in two ways, one by creating it using the storyboard and other by creating another textView programmatically.

A text view is scrollable by default if it has text more than the height of textView and the scrollable property is disabled.

1.Using storyboard

Go to storyboard and from the object library drag a textView to your view.
Now in the text view if the text is more than it’s height than it will be scrollable by default, otherwise it will not be scrollable.
Give height constraint along with remaining required constraint.
Make sure that scrolling enabled is selected and user interaction is enabled.

2.Programmatically

To programmatically create a text view you can use the following code. Make sure to give it constraints too.

lettx = UITextView()
   tx.isScrollEnabled = true
   tx.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
   tx.frame = CGRect(x: 10, y: 10, width: self.view.frame.width, height: 100)
   tx.text = "Loremipsum dolor sit erelitlamet, consectetaurcilliumadipisicingpecu, sed do

   self.view.addSubview(tx)

This will create a scrollable text view in your application which looks like:
