Detect UIScrollview bottom reached

I have a UIScrollView with images and when the user scrolls to the end of the scrollview i want to update the content. This is my code to detect when the bottom of the scrollview is reached:

The code below is implemented in scrollViewDidScroll: delegate

CGFloat scrollViewHeight = imagesScrollView.bounds.size.height;
CGFloat scrollContentSizeHeight = imagesScrollView.contentSize.height;
CGFloat bottomInset = imagesScrollView.contentInset.bottom;
CGFloat scrollViewBottomOffset = scrollContentSizeHeight + bottomInset - scrollViewHeight;

if(imagesScrollView.contentOffset.y > scrollViewBottomOffset){


    [imagesView addSubview:imagesBottomLoadingView];

    [self downloadImages];

}

My problem is that when the user scrolls to bottom, my function is called several times, but i want to call it only once. I tried with imagesScrollView.contentOffset.y == scrollViewBottomOffset but it doesn't work and the function is not called

Carlos answer is better.

For Swift 4.x you must change method name:

func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
        if (scrollView.contentOffset.y + 1) >= (scrollView.contentSize.height - scrollView.frame.size.height) {
            //bottom reached
        }
    }

For Swift 4.5:

func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) 
{    
   let scrollViewHeight = scrollView.frame.size.height
    let scrollContentSizeHeight = scrollView.contentSize.height
     let scrollOffset = scrollView.contentOffset.y

    if (scrollOffset == 0)
    {
        // then we are at the top
        print("then we are at the top")
    }
    else if (scrollOffset + scrollViewHeight == scrollContentSizeHeight)
    {
        print("then we are at the end")
        // then we are at the end
    }      
}

I used a mixed approach for this. Let me explain:

While your calculus is correct, the delegate your listening to is an overkill since scrollViewDidScroll is called many times which can lead to performance issues. You should (as I did) use scrollViewDidEndDragging and scrollViewDidEndDecelerating which are called only once at the end of each of their respective events.

func scrollViewDidEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, willDecelerate decelerate: Bool) {
    // Scrolling acceleration didn't continue after the finger was lifted
    if !decelerate {
        executeActionAtTheEnd(of: scrollView)
    }
}

func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    executeActionAtTheEnd(of: scrollView)
}

private func executeActionAtTheEnd(of scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    if scrollView.contentOffset.y + 1 >= (scrollView.contentSize.height - scrollView.frame.size.height) {
        // Do here whatever you want when end of scrolling is reached
    }
}
