A missing placeholder for UITextView.

Use CocoaPods.

pod 'UITextView+Placeholder'

Create UITextView, then set placeholder.

UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] init];
textView.placeholder = @"How are you?";
textView.placeholderColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor]; // optional

Congratulations! You're done.

Since 1.1.0 you can use attributedPlaceholder.

textView.attributedPlaceholder = ... // NSAttributedString
