You can create your own  For example   Create a view with white background and rounded corners   var view   UIView frame  CGRect x  0  y  0  width  300  height  50   view backgroundColor   UIColor whiteColor   view layer cornerRadius   10   Add two subviews  a UIActivityIndicatorView and a UILabel   var wait   UIActivityIndicatorView frame  CGRect x  0  y  0  width  50  height  50   wait color   UIColor blackColor   wait hidesWhenStopped   false   var text   UILabel frame  CGRect x  60  y  0  width  200  height  50   text text    Processing      view addSubview wait  view addSubview text

Based o my previous answer  here is a more elegant solution with a custom class   First define this custom class   import UIKit import Foundation  class ActivityIndicatorView       var view  UIView   var activityIndicator  UIActivityIndicatorView   var title  String   init title  String  center  CGPoint  width  CGFloat   200 0  height  CGFloat   50 0        self title   title      let x   center x - width 2 0     let y   center y - height 2 0      self view   UIView frame  CGRect x  x  y  y  width  width  height  height       self view backgroundColor   UIColor red  255 0 255 0  green  204 0 255 0  blue  51 0 255 0  alpha  0 5      self view layer cornerRadius   10      self activityIndicator   UIActivityIndicatorView frame  CGRect x  0  y  0  width  50  height  50       self activityIndicator color   UIColor blackColor       self activityIndicator hidesWhenStopped   false      let titleLabel   UILabel frame  CGRect x  60  y  0  width  200  height  50       titleLabel text   title     titleLabel textColor   UIColor blackColor        self view addSubview self activityIndicator      self view addSubview titleLabel     func getViewActivityIndicator   - gt  UIView       return self view    func startAnimating         self activityIndicator startAnimating       UIApplication sharedApplication   beginIgnoringInteractionEvents      func stopAnimating         self activityIndicator stopAnimating       UIApplication sharedApplication   endIgnoringInteractionEvents        self view removeFromSuperview       end     Now on your UIViewController class   var activityIndicatorView  ActivityIndicatorView   override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad        self activityIndicatorView   ActivityIndicatorView title   Processing      center  self view center      self view addSubview self activityIndicatorView getViewActivityIndicator        func doSomething         self activityIndicatorView startAnimating       UIApplication sharedApplication   beginIgnoringInteractionEvents          do something here that will taking time      self activityIndicatorView stopAnimating

While Esq s answer works  I ve added my own implementation which is more in line with good component architecture by separating the view into it s own class  It also uses dynamic blurring introduced in iOS 8    Here is how mine looks with an image background      The code for this is encapsulated in it s own UIView class which means you can reuse it whenever you desire   Updated for Swift 3  Usage  func viewDidLoad       super viewDidLoad         Create and add the view to the screen    let progressHUD   ProgressHUD text   Saving Photo     self view addSubview progressHUD       All done     self view backgroundColor   UIColor black     UIView Code  import UIKit  class ProgressHUD  UIVisualEffectView      var text  String        didSet         label text   text              let activityIndictor  UIActivityIndicatorView   UIActivityIndicatorView activityIndicatorStyle  UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle gray    let label  UILabel   UILabel     let blurEffect   UIBlurEffect style   light    let vibrancyView  UIVisualEffectView    init text  String        self text   text     self vibrancyView   UIVisualEffectView effect  UIVibrancyEffect blurEffect  blurEffect       super init effect  blurEffect      self setup          required init  coder aDecoder  NSCoder        self text          self vibrancyView   UIVisualEffectView effect  UIVibrancyEffect blurEffect  blurEffect       super init coder  aDecoder      self setup          func setup         contentView addSubview vibrancyView      contentView addSubview activityIndictor      contentView addSubview label      activityIndictor startAnimating          override func didMoveToSuperview         super didMoveToSuperview        if let superview   self superview          let width   superview frame size width   2 3       let height  CGFloat   50 0       self frame   CGRect x  superview frame size width   2 -
