On Swift 5 use the RelativeDateTimeFormatter,

let formatter = RelativeDateTimeFormatter()

formatter.localizedString(from: DateComponents(day: -1)) // "1 day ago"
formatter.localizedString(from: DateComponents(hour: 2)) // "in 2 hours"
formatter.localizedString(from: DateComponents(minute: 45)) // "in 45 minutes"

set the dateTimeStyle get localized deictic statements e.g. -

formatter.dateTimeStyle = .named 
formatter.localizedString(from: DateComponents(day: -1)) // "yesterday"
