What is Auto layout?

Auto Layout is a constraint-based layout system that defines the size and position of views relative to each other and to the container. It automatically adapts layouts for different screen sizes, orientations, and locales. Constraints are created visually in Interface Builder or programmatically using NSLayoutConstraint or anchor APIs.
