For swift 5.x

extension Date {

    func timeAgoSinceDate() -> String {

        // From Time
        let fromDate = self

        // To Time
        let toDate = Date()

        // Year
        if let interval = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year], from: fromDate, to: toDate).year, interval > 0  {

            return interval == 1 ? "\(interval)" + " " + "year ago" : "\(interval)" + " " + "years ago"
        }

        // Month
        if let interval = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.month], from: fromDate, to: toDate).month, interval > 0  {

            return interval == 1 ? "\(interval)" + " " + "month ago" : "\(interval)" + " " + "months ago"
        }

        // Day
        if let interval = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: fromDate, to: toDate).day, interval > 0  {

            return interval == 1 ? "\(interval)" + " " + "day ago" : "\(interval)" + " " + "days ago"
        }

        // Hours
        if let interval = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.hour], from: fromDate, to: toDate).hour, interval > 0 {

            return interval == 1 ? "\(interval)" + " " + "hour ago" : "\(interval)" + " " + "hours ago"
        }

        // Minute
        if let interval = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.minute], from: fromDate, to: toDate).minute, interval > 0 {

            return interval == 1 ? "\(interval)" + " " + "minute ago" : "\(interval)" + " " + "minutes ago"
        }

        return "just now"
    }
}

How to use

oldDate.timeAgoSinceDate()
