From iOS 6 and later UITextAlignment is deprecated. use NSTextAlignment

myLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

Swift Version from iOS 6 and later

myLabel.textAlignment = .center

swift version could be simplified :) myLabel.textAlignment = .Center – Elvaelvah 2/6, 2015 at 22:34

.center ← lowercase – Wigeon 28/4, 2017 at 16:55

Here is a sample code showing how to align text using UILabel:

label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60, 30, 200, 12)];
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

You can read more about it here UILabel

UITextAlignment is deprecated since iOS 5. Use NSTextAlignment instead. – Pythoness 7/11, 2012 at 15:43

False, UITextAligment is deprecated. In UIStringDrawing.h (UIKit) you can find this code:

// Deprecated: use NSTextAlignment enum in UIKit/NSText.h typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, UITextAlignment) {     UITextAlignmentLeft = 0,     UITextAlignmentCenter,     UITextAlignmentRight,                   // could add justified in future } NS_DEPRECATED_IOS(2_0,6_0);

To center text in a UILabel in Swift (which is targeted for iOS 7+) you can do:

myUILabel.textAlignment = .Center

Or

myUILabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center

N.B.: As per the UILabel class reference, as of iOS 6 this approach is now deprecated.

Simply use the textAlignment property to see the required alignment using one of the UITextAlignment values. (UITextAlignmentLeft, UITextAlignmentCenter or UITextAlignmentRight.)

e.g.: [myUILabel setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];

See the UILabel Class Reference for more information.

Use yourLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter; for iOS >= 6.0 and yourLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter; for iOS < 6.0.

For Swift 3 it's:

label.textAlignment = .center

In xamarin ios suppose your label name is title then do the following

title.TextAlignment = UITextAlignment.Center;

The question is not about Xamarin. And UITextAlignment is deprecated in iOS 6! – Holbrooke 16/12, 2016 at 7:12

In Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10

let lbl = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 10, y: 50, width: 230, height: 21))
lbl.textAlignment = .center //For center alignment
lbl.text = "This is my label fdsjhfg sjdg dfgdfgdfjgdjfhg jdfjgdfgdf end..."
lbl.textColor = .white
lbl.backgroundColor = .lightGray//If required
lbl.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17)

 //To display multiple lines in label
lbl.numberOfLines = 0
lbl.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping

lbl.sizeToFit()//If required
yourView.addSubview(lbl)
