I have this extension here that returns a formatted string just like how I want it:

extension Date {
    func formattedTimeUntilNow() -> String {
        let now = Date()
        let different = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .day, .hour, .minute, .second], from: self, to: now)
        if different.year != 0 {
            let differentDay = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: self, to: now)
            return "\(String(format: "%.1f", floor(Double(10 * differentDay.day!) / 365.0) / 10))y"
        }
        if different.day != 0 {
            return "\(different.day!)d"
        }
        if different.hour != 0 {
            return "\(different.hour!)h"
        }
        if different.minute != 0 {
            return "\(different.minute!)m"
        }
        return "\(different.second ?? 0)s"
    }
}

How do I display this string in a Text view and letting it update automatically (for example, if the date is from 10 seconds ago I want the Text view to display 10s, 11s, 12s and so on).

Hi, why don't you try Text initializers as follows:

Just use the date var you need in below code just to see the difference between time changes from date up to now

Text(Date().addingTimeInterval(-6000), style: .offset)            
Text(Date().addingTimeInterval(-6000), style: Text.DateStyle.relative)           
Text(Date().addingTimeInterval(-6000), style: Text.DateStyle.timer)”

But I want it in that short form (1h, 23m, 267d, 1.6y and so on)
