UITextView word wrap breaks in the middle of a word

Question

I'm using a UITextView to present definitions which may be one or more lines long. When it does go past a lane, if often wraps in the middle of a word.

Is this normal? What can be done to prevent this?

Answer 1

word wrap IS the default for IOS UITextView and the only reasons it fails Quuxplusone mentioned in his comment.

EITHER

• the one word is longer (in pixels) than the textView's frame
• the 'spaces' aren't really spaces but unbreakable spaces
