AutoLayout with hidden UIViews?

Question

I feel like it\'s a fairly common paradigm to show/hide UIViews, most often UILabels, depending on business logic. My question is, what is the best

Answer 1

I just found out that to get a UILabel to not take up space, you have to hide it AND set its text to an empty string. (iOS 9)

Knowing this fact/bug could help some people simplify their layouts, possibly even that of the original question, so I figured I'd post it.
