Answer 1

You can achieve this by adding a gesture to the text field:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()


    var gesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("userDragged:"))
    bottomTextField.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
    bottomTextField.userInteractionEnabled = true
}

func userDragged(gesture: UIPanGestureRecognizer){
    var loc = gesture.locationInView(self.view)
    self.bottomTextField.center = loc

}

Answer 2

If it helps anyone, following is an updated working version of the accepted answer for swift 4.0 and 5.0

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    //Draggable textfields
    let gesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(userDragged(gesture:)))

    bottomTextView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
            bottomTextView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

}

@objc func userDragged(gesture: UIPanGestureRecognizer){
    let loc = gesture.location(in: self.view)
    self.bottomTextView.center = loc

}
