You should also check if text filed is empty then you should put place holder again

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    textField.placeholder = nil;
}

- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField 
{
   if ([textField.text isEqualToString:@""] || [[textField.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]] length] == 0))
   {
       [textField setText:@""];
       textField.placeholder = @"Your Placeholdertext";
   }
}
