Answer 1

If you want to do it in interface builder. The default separator inset is Automatic. Change it to custom by selecting the dropdown.

Answer 2

Swift 2.2 iOS 9.3

In viewDidLoad

tableView.cellLayoutMarginsFollowReadableWidth = false

In UITableViewDelegates

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if cell.respondsToSelector(Selector("setSeparatorInset:")){
        cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero
    }
    if cell.respondsToSelector(Selector("setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:")) {
        cell.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false
    }
    if cell.respondsToSelector(Selector("setLayoutMargins:")){
        cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero
    }
}

Answer 3

For iOS 8 and 9

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    if ([UITableView instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) [[UITableViewCell appearance] setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
    if ([UITableView instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:)]) [[UITableViewCell appearance] setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:NO];
}

and

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) [cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}

Answer 4

Perfect Solution upto iOS 9

In viewDidLoad

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    //Required for iOS 9
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice]systemVersion]floatValue] >= 9.0) {
        self.testTableView.cellLayoutMarginsFollowReadableWidth = NO;
    }
}

In TableViewDelegate methods add following code:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    // Remove seperator inset
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) {
        [cell setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
    }

    // Prevent the cell from inheriting the Table View's margin settings
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:)]) {
        [cell setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:NO];
    }

    // Explictly set your cell's layout margins
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
        [cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
    }
}

Answer 5

Based on different answers here, I am able to remove the gap from separator with these lines of codes in Swift:

tableView.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero
tableView.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero
cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero

But still I am having this small gap before the text:
