Here s another way to do that w out the grouped table style  and one you d probably not guess  Adding a header and footer to the table  perhaps one or the other suffices  haven t checked  causes the separators to disappear from the filler blank rows   I stumbled onto this because I wanted a little space at the top and bottom of tables to decrease the risk of hitting buttons instead of a table cell with meaty fingers  Here s a method to stick a blank view in as header and footer  Use whatever height you like  you still eliminate the extra separator lines   -  void  addHeaderAndFooter       UIView  v     UIView alloc  initWithFrame CGRectMake 0  0  320  10        v backgroundColor    UIColor clearColor        self myTableView setTableHeaderView v        self myTableView setTableFooterView v        v release         In response to  Casebash  I went back to the code in my app   AcmeLists  List Manager in iTunes store     and short-circuited the addHeaderAndFooter method to verify  Without it  I have the extra row separators  with the code  I have what you see in this window snap  no table row separators picture  So I m not sure why it wouldn t have worked for you  Moreover  it makes sense to me that having any custom footer on a table view would necessarily have to stop drawing row separators for blank rows below it  That would be hideous  For reference  I looked at tables where there were more rows than could be viewed on screen  and then for a table with two rows  In both cases  no extraneous separators   Perhaps your custom views were not actually added  To check that  set the background color to something other than clearColor  e g    UIColor redColor   If you don t see some red bars at the bottom of the table  your footer wasn t set

Just add an view with the desired separator color as background color  100  width   1px height at the position x0 y-1 to your tableViewCell  Make sure the tableViewCell doesn t clip subviews  instead the tableView should    So you get a absolut simple and working separator only between existing cells without any hack per code or IB   Note  On a vertical top bounce the 1st separator shows up  but that shouldn t be a problem cause it s the default iOS behavior

If you have only one section  then the quickest and easiest way is to just set the Table View Style from  Plain  to  Grouped    see image     If you have more sections  you might need to set the header height to zero  depending on your your customer s your project manager s taste   If you have more sections  and don t want to mess with the headers  even if it is just one line in the simplest case   then you need to set a UIView as a footer  as it was explained in the previous answers

I had some luck implementing a single piece of the accepted answer  iOS 9   Swift 2 2   I had tried implementing   self tableView tableFooterView   UIView frame   zero    However  there was no effect on my tableView - I believe it may have something to do with the fact that I was using UITableViewController   Instead  I only had to override the viewForFooterInSection method  I did not set the tableFooterView elsewhere    override func tableView tableView  UITableView  viewForFooterInSection section  Int  - gt  UIView        return UIView frame   zero      This worked fine for a tableView with a single section  if you have multiple sections  you need to specify the last one

Interface builder  iOS 9    Just drag a UIView to the table   In storyboard  it will sit at the top below your custom cells   You may prefer to name it  footer    Here it is shown in green for clarity  you d probably want clear color   Note that by adjusting the height  you can affect how the  bottom bounce  of the table is handled  as you prefer   Height zero is usually fine        To do it programmatically    Swift  override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad       self tableView tableFooterView   UIView       Objective-C  iOS 6 1   -  void viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad           This will remove extra separators from tableview     self tableView tableFooterView    UIView new       or if you prefer       self tableView tableFooterView     UIView alloc  initWithFrame CGRectZero     Historically in iOS   Add to the table view controller     -  CGFloat tableView  UITableView   tableView heightForFooterInSection  NSInteger section           This will create a  invisible  footer      return CGFLOAT MIN       and if necessary     -  UIView   tableView  UITableView   tableView viewForFooterInSection  NSInteger section               return  UIView new           If you are not using ARC         return   UIView new  autorelease
