Answer 1

If you have more than one TextField

1) Add String variable to your class

class YourViewController : UIViewController {

var placeHolder = ""

2) Add UITextFieldDelegate

extension YourViewController : UITextFieldDelegate {

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
    placeHolder = textField.placeholder ?? ""
    textField.placeholder = ""
}

func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
    if textField.placeholder == ""{
    textField.placeholder = placeHolder
    }
}
