Add blur view to label?

How can I add a blur view to a label? The label is in front of a UIImage and I wanted the background of the label to be blurred, so that the user can read the text better. I get the Blur effect inside the bounds of the label, but the text itself disappears (maybe also gets blurred, idk why). I also tried to add a label programmatically, but I didn't get it working. I'm thankful for any kind of help! 

let blur = UIBlurEffect(style: .Light)
    let blurView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blur)

    blurView.frame = findATeamLabel.bounds
    findATeamLabel.addSubview(blurView)
Solution

  • You could try sending it to the back of the view hierarchy for the label. Try

    findATeamLabel.sendSubviewToBack(blurView)
