Why is my Navigation Controller not causing my text labels to shift down, instead it is overlapping them?

I'm on the Adding Login and Sign Up stage of the self-destructing message app. I'm doing exactly as Ben does by adding my navigation controller at the end. But the navigation controller is overlapping my 'Username' label, instead of causing the label to shift down below it. It doesn't do that in the video.

Help would be HUGELY appreciated. Jamie

hmm try this:

click on your viewController (make sure its outline in blue after clicking it, this is how you know the controller is selected and not the view.

in the attributes inspector there should be a checkbox that says extend edges under top bars. make sure its unchecked. this will cause any constraints to treat the bottom of the navigation bar as the top of the view instead of treating the top of the screen under the navigation bar as the top. this should shift any labels/controls to shift down
