Try to do in playground like this:

Swift Elample:

let stringDate = "16:00:00"

let dateFormatter1 = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter1.dateFormat = "HH:mm:ss"
let date1 = dateFormatter1.date(from: stringDate)
print(date1!)

let dateFormatter2 = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter2.dateFormat = "hh:mm a"
print(dateFormatter2.string(from: date1!))
print(dateFormatter1.string(from: date1!))

Objective-C Elample: (paste to any viewDidLoad)

NSString *stringDate = @"16:00:00";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *date1 = [dateFormatter dateFromString:stringDate];
NSLog(@"%@", date1);

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter2 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter2 setDateFormat:@"hh:mm a"];
NSLog(@"%@", [dateFormatter2 stringFromDate:date1]);
NSLog(@"%@", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date1]);

Result:

• 2000-01-01 14:00:00 +0000 / Sat Jan 1 16:00:00 2000 (included my timezone)
• 04:00 PM
• 16:00:00

Note: If you want to get:

• 12 AM, 5 PM then use "hh mm a"
• 00, 17 then use "HH mm a"
