You typically use a text view to display multiple lines of text, such as when displaying the body of a large text document.

The UITextView class implements the behavior for a scrollable, multiline text region. The class supports the display of text using custom style information and also supports text editing. You typically use a text view to display multiple lines of text, such as when displaying the body of a large text document.
