            if(!imageData)
            {
                NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"NoImage" ofType:@"png"];
                NSData *photoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
                emailmodel.emailimagesData=photoData;
            }
            else
            {
                emailmodel.emailimagesData=imageData;

            }


            [emailarray addObject:emailmodel];

            callsmsDataBool=NO;

            NSLog(@"table email count %d and i %d",emailarray.count,tablecountint);
            if(emailarray.count==tablecountint)
            {

                NSLog(@"table email reload");

                tablecountint=tablecountint+10;

                dispatch_async( dispatch_get_global_queue(0,0),^{
                    [self reloadtable];
                });

                NSLog(@"perform selection in bg");

            }

        }
    }


    [self.tableview reloadData];


   if(!emailarray.count && [socialstring isEqualToString:@"Email"])
   {
       selectedlabel.text=@"Emails not found";
   }
   else if(emailarray.count && [socialstring isEqualToString:@"Email"])
   {
      // selectedlabel.text=@"Email";

       selectedlabel.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%ld",nPeople];
   }
   else if(!emailarray.count && [socialstring isEqualToString:@"SMS"])
   {
       selectedlabel.text=@"Phone no's not found";
   }
   else if(emailarray.count && [socialstring isEqualToString:@"SMS"])
   {
       selectedlabel.text=@"SMS";
   }
   else
   {
        selectedlabel.text=@"";
   }

    [tableview reloadData];

Any valuable suggestions will be appreciated....

Thanks in advance.

After getting all contacts in one array copy ten contacts to another array and cal table reload method with that new array by calling this method initially lowerlimit = 0 and upperlimit=10;

-(void)tabledataloadingmethod
{
    for (lowerlimit=0+lowerlimit; lowerlimit<upperlimit; lowerlimit++)
    {
        if (lowerlimit<[self.array1 count])
        {
            OBJECT *obj=[self.array1 objectAtIndex:lowerlimit];
            [self.array2 addObject:obj];

        }

    }
    [self.tbleview reloadData];

}

in table delagete method cellforrowatindex use this

    if ([self.array2 count]==indexPath.row)
            {


                UITableViewCell *cell1=[self.tbleview dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"cells"];
                if(cell1==nil)
                {
                    cell1=[[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:@"Cells"];
                }

                cell1.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
                cell1.textLabel.text=@"Loading more...";

                [self performSelector:@selector(loadmorecells) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2];



                return cell1;
  }    
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{

    if ([self.array2 count]>0 && ([self.array2 count]<[self.array1 count]))
    {
        return [self.array2 count]+1;
    }
    else
    {
        return [self.array2 count];
    }
}

here we increment lowerlimit and upperlimit in loadmorecells method

-(void)loadmorecells
    {

        lowerlimit = upperlimit;

        upperlimit = upperlimit +10;
        [self tabledataloadingmethod];
    }
