Answer 1

You can use UIStackView for this problem.

let us call everything but the UIImageView is the RHS and the UIImageView is the LHS

place them in a vertical UIStackView and when you hide the UIImageView it should automatically remove that spacing and shift the content to fill the view.

If you haven't seen them yet I recommend this tutorial.

Answer 2

If you do not want to use stackViews you can physically move the label by "animating" it or moving its frame.

self.labelToMove.frame = CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: width, height: height)

Call this line with the desired position wherever you programatically "hide" the image view.

you can move it back by doing the same thing when you programmatically "unhide" the initials image
