iOS - Friendly NSDate format

Question

I need to display the date of posts in my app to the user, right now I do it in this format: \"Fri, 25 May\". How would I format an NSDate to read something like \"2 hours ago\"

Answer 1

In newer versions of iOS since this question was asked, NSDateFormatter has had this ability added. It can now do it using the doesRelativeDateFormatting property.
