In Swift 4 2 the notification names have moved to a different namespace  So now it s  override func viewWillAppear   animated  Bool        super viewWillAppear animated      addKeyboardListeners       override func viewWillDisappear   animated  Bool        super viewWillDisappear animated      NotificationCenter default removeObserver self      func addKeyboardListeners         NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWillHide   name  UIResponder keyboardWillHideNotification  object  nil      NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWillShow   name  UIResponder keyboardWillShowNotification  object  nil      objc private extension WhateverTheClassNameIs        func keyboardWillShow   notification  Notification               Do something here             func keyboardWillHide   notification  Notification               Do something here

If you have more then one UITextFields and you need to do something when  or before  keyboard appears or disappears  you can implement this approach   Add UITextFieldDelegate to your class  Assign integer counter  let s say   NSInteger editCounter     Set this counter to zero somewhere in viewDidLoad  Then  implement textFieldShouldBeginEditing and textFieldShouldEndEditing delegate methods   In the first one add 1 to editCounter  If value of editCounter becomes 1 - this means that keyboard will appear  in case if you return YES   If editCounter   1 - this means that keyboard is already visible and another UITextField holds the focus   In textFieldShouldEndEditing subtract 1 from editCounter  If you get zero - keyboard will be dismissed  otherwise it will remain on the screen

Swift 5  There answers above are correct  Although I would prefer to create a helper to wrap up the notification s observers    The benefit    You don t have to repeat each time you handle the keyboard behaviors  You can extend other notification by implement other enum value It s useful when you have to deal with keyboard in several controllers    Sample code   extension KeyboardHelper       enum Animation           case keyboardWillShow         case keyboardWillHide            typealias HandleBlock      animation  Animation    keyboardFrame  CGRect    duration  TimeInterval  - gt  Void    final class KeyboardHelper       private let handleBlock  HandleBlock      init handleBlock   escaping HandleBlock            self handleBlock   handleBlock         setupNotification              deinit           NotificationCenter default removeObserver self             private func setupNotification                 NotificationCenter default              addObserver forName  UIResponder keyboardWillShowNotification  object  nil  queue   main     weak self  notification in                 self  handle animation   keyboardWillShow  notification  notification                             NotificationCenter default              addObserver forName  UIResponder keyboardWillHideNotification  object  nil  queue   main     weak self  notification in                 self  handle animation   keyboardWillHide  notification  notification                           private func handle animation  Animation  notification  Notification            guard let userInfo   notification userInfo              let keyboardFrame    userInfo UIResponder keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey  as  NSValue   cgRectValue              let duration   userInfo UIResponder keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey  as  Double         else   return            handleBlock animation  keyboardFrame  duration            How to use   private var keyboardHelper  KeyboardHelper       override func viewDidLoad               keyboardHelper   KeyboardHelper    unowned self  animation  keyboardFrame  duration in         switch animation           case  keyboardWillShow              print  keyboard will show           case  keyboardWillHide              print  keyboard will hide

You may just need addObserver in viewDidLoad  But having addObserver in viewWillAppear and removeObserver in viewWillDisappear prevents rare crashes which happens when you are changing your view   Swift 4 2  override func viewWillAppear   animated  Bool        super viewWillAppear animated      NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWillDisappear   name  UIResponder keyboardWillHideNotification  object  nil      NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWillAppear   name  UIResponder keyboardWillShowNotification  object  nil      objc func keyboardWillAppear           Do something here     objc func keyboardWillDisappear           Do something here    override func viewWillDisappear   animated  Bool        super viewWillDisappear animated      NotificationCenter default removeObserver self      Swift 3 and 4  override func viewWillAppear   animated  Bool        super viewWillAppear animated      NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWillDisappear   name  Notification Name UIKeyboardWillHide  object  nil      NotificationCenter default addObserver self  selector   selector keyboardWillAppear   name  Notification Name UIKeyboardWillShow  object  nil      objc func keyboardWillAppear           Do something here     objc func keyboardWillDisappear           Do something here    override func viewWillDisappear   animated  Bool        super viewWillDisappear animated      NotificationCenter default removeObserver self      Older Swift  override func viewWillAppear animated  Bool        super viewWillAppear animated       NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector  keyboardWillAppear    name  UIKeyboardWillShowNotification  object  nil      NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   addObserver self  selector  keyboardWillDisappear    name  UIKeyboardWillHideNotification  object  nil     func keyboardWillAppear notification  NSNotification          Do something here    func keyboardWillDisappear notification  NSNotification          Do something here    override func viewWillDisappear animated  Bool        super viewWillDisappear animated      NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter   removeObserver self

In the ViewDidLoad method of your class set up to listen for messages about the keyboard      Listen for keyboard appearances and disappearances   NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter  addObserver self                                           selector  selector keyboardDidShow                                                name UIKeyboardDidShowNotification                                            object nil      NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter  addObserver self                                          selector  selector keyboardDidHide                                                name UIKeyboardDidHideNotification                                            object nil     Then in the methods you specify  in this case keyboardDidShow and keyboardDidHide  you can do something about it   -  void keyboardDidShow   NSNotification    notif         Do something here    -  void keyboardDidHide   NSNotification    notif         Do something here
