**Swift four version**
let string = "A great test string."
let font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)
let attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey: Any] = [.font: font]
let attributedString = NSAttributedString(string: string, attributes: attributes)
let largestSize = CGSize(width: bounds.width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)
//Option one (best option)
let framesetter = CTFramesetterCreateWithAttributedString(attributedString)
let textSize = CTFramesetterSuggestFrameSizeWithConstraints(framesetter, CFRange(), nil, largestSize, nil)
//Option two
let textSize = (string as NSString).boundingRect(with: largestSize, options: [.usesLineFragmentOrigin , .usesFontLeading], attributes: attributes, context: nil).size
//Option three
let textSize = attributedString.boundingRect(with: largestSize, options: [.usesLineFragmentOrigin , .usesFontLeading], context: nil).size
Measuring the text with the CTFramesetter works best as it provides integer sizes and handles emoji's and other unicode characters well.
