Uses of UITableViewHeaderFooterView in iOS to manage the header and footer content of your table’s sections efficiently. A header-footer view is a reusable view that you can subclass or use as is.
To configure the content and appearance of a header-footer view, you can set its contentConfiguration and backgroundConfiguration.
To promote the reuse of your header-footer views, register them by calling the register(_:forHeaderFooterViewReuseIdentifier:) or register(_:forHeaderFooterViewReuseIdentifier:) method of the table view. In the tableView(_:viewForHeaderInSection:) or tableView(_:viewForFooterInSection:) method of your delegate object, call the table view’s dequeueReusableHeaderFooterView(withIdentifier:)method to create your view. That method returns a recycled view (if one is available) or creates a new view using the information you registered.
A simple alternative to creating custom header-footer views is to implement the tableView(_:titleForHeaderInSection:) and tableView(_:titleForFooterInSection:) methods of your data source object. When you implement those methods, the table view creates a standard header or footer view and displays the text you supply.
