I want to achieve this kind of style in UITextView same like WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram status. Where we can add a background color to text only parts and it will expand if we continue writing it.
Here is the image for more details. :

My suggestion is that you have to make function that will create label base on text and add that on Your image – Jignesh Mayani May 18 '18 at 10:08

Write following code in UITextViewDelegate method. On each word the textview delegate get call and you can apply the background color for textview text.
var attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: textField.text)
attributedString.addAttribute(NSBackgroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.clear, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: textField.text.length))
textField.attributedText = attributedString
