SetImage() method removes titleLabel for UIButton - ios

Question

My wish is to make centered image(left) and next to it(right) the label.
Without setting an image, there was a perfectly centered titleLabel:
btnWhatsapp.titleLabel?.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
btnWhatsapp.setTitle("WhatsApp", for: .normal)
Then I added this code to add an image:
btnWhatsapp.setImage(UIImage(named: "phoneIcon"), for: .normal)
btnWhatsapp.imageView?.layer.transform = CATransform3DMakeScale(0.5, 0.6, 0.5)
btnWhatsapp.imageView?.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
, and this iswhat I got then:
, so the title disappeared.
Maybe the problem is that image uses more space than its actual size(the size shouldnt take more widht and height than the icon size). I saw this when changed images background(should be this much grey color):
btnWhatsapp.imageView?.backgroundColor = .gray
I tried to use the imageEdgeInsets but it is very hard to calculate it to fit perfectly on every iPhone.
This is the Attributes inspector of the button:

You can't set title and image at once by default, nor position them as you describe.
If you need to have a UIButton, I'd recommend to make a UIView (or possibly horizontal UIStackView) with UIImage and UILabel inside, position them with autolayout, then you can add this view to the UIButton as a subview.
let button = UIButton(type: .custom)
button.frame = viewFrame // This is the desired frame of your custom UIView or UIStackView
button.addSubview(customView)
You will be able to position the views easily for all sizes with this approach, but you will probably want to use autolayout in real word app, instead of hardcoded frames.
Example:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let image = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50))
let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50))
label.text = "text"
let stack = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [image, label])
stack.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 50)
stack.distribution = .fillEqually
let button = UIButton()
button.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 50)
button.addSubview(stack)
view.addSubview(button)
self.view.addSubview(button)
}

Set your button under your controller class like this:
let imageButton: UIButton = {
let b = UIButton(type: .custom)
b.backgroundColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.3411764801, green: 0.6235294342, blue: 0.1686274558, alpha: 1)
b.layer.cornerRadius = 12
b.clipsToBounds = true
b.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let imageV = UIImageView()
imageV.image = UIImage(named: "yourImage")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
imageV.tintColor = .white
imageV.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
imageV.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
imageV.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30).isActive = true
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "WhatsApp"
label.textColor = .white
label.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 16, weight: .regular)
let stack = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [imageV, label])
stack.distribution = .fill
stack.spacing = 4
stack.axis = .horizontal
stack.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
b.addSubview(stack)
stack.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30).isActive = true
stack.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 120).isActive = true
stack.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: b.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
stack.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: b.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
return b
}()
Now in viewDidLoad add button and set constraints in your view (in my case on top)
view.addSubview(imageButton)
imageButton.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor, constant: 20).isActive = true
imageButton.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 50).isActive = true
imageButton.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 200).isActive = true
imageButton.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
This is the result:
