You can not hide the placeholder of UITextField, but you can set it to empty String.

self.textField.placeholder = ""

Now textField doesn't show any placeholder later on if you want to show the placeholder simply set it with String that you want.

self.textField.placeholder = "Enter name"

If you're using `UITextView` the solution becomes quite different. Here are a couple of solutions. [Floating Placeholder](http://stackoverflow.com/a/28271069/2079103) and [Fake Native Placeholders](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27652227/text-view-placeholder-swift/41081244#41081244) – clearlight Jan 08 '17 at 00:58
@clearlight Thanks for link, but OP already specify he want this functionality for `UITextField` not for `UITextView`. – Nirav D Jan 08 '17 at 05:35
But visitors to the question may be interested in a related solution. Remember it's just a comment, not posted as an answer. – clearlight Jan 08 '17 at 05:36
