I am developing an application where user has to write some information. For this purpose I need a UITextField which is multi-line (in general UITextField is a single line).

As I'm Googling I find a answer of using UITextView instead of UITextfield for this purpose.

'override func viewDidLoad(){
super.viwDidLoad()
YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.textColor = UIColor.gray // YOUR PREFERRED PLACEHOLDER COLOR HERE
YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.text =  "YOUR DEFAULT PLACEHOLDER TEXT HERE"
YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.delegate = self
}'

This code block is enough. Please don't forget to set delegate in viewDidLoad or by storyboard just before to use the following extension:

extension YOUR_VIEW_CONTROLLER: UITextViewDelegate {
    
    func textViewDidBeginEditing (_ textView: UITextView) {
        if YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.text.isEmpty || YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.text == "YOUR DEFAULT PLACEHOLDER TEXT HERE" {
            YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.text = nil
            YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.textColor = .red // YOUR PREFERED COLOR HERE
        }
    }
    func textViewDidEndEditing (_ textView: UITextView) {
        if YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.text.isEmpty {
            YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.textColor = UIColor.gray // YOUR PREFERED PLACEHOLDER COLOR HERE
            YOUR_TEXT_VIEW.text =  "YOUR DEFAULT PLACEHOLDER TEXT HERE"
        }
    }   
}

Use textView instead then conform with its delegate, call the textViewDidChange method inside of that method call tableView.beginUpdates() and tableView.endUpdates() and don't forget to set rowHeight and estimatedRowHeight to UITableView.automaticDimension.
