You try to add mask to your image using method below and put it to UIImageView

+ (UIImage *)image:(UIImage *)img withMask:(UIImage *)maskImg {
CGImageRef maskRef = maskImg.CGImage; 

CGImageRef mask = CGImageMaskCreate(CGImageGetWidth(maskRef),
                                    CGImageGetHeight(maskRef),
                                    CGImageGetBitsPerComponent(maskRef),
                                    CGImageGetBitsPerPixel(maskRef),
                                    CGImageGetBytesPerRow(maskRef),
                                    CGImageGetDataProvider(maskRef), NULL, false);

CGImageRef masked = CGImageCreateWithMask(img.CGImage, mask);
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:masked];
CGImageRelease(mask);
CGImageRelease(masked);
return image;

}
