just try to create a subclass of UITextView that overrides the canPerformAction:withSender: method 

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender
{
    if (action == @selector(paste:))
        return NO;
    return [super canPerformAction:action withSender:sender];
}

You need to create a subclass of UITextView and override the canPerformAction method.

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender
{
    if (action == @selector(copy:) || action == @selector(selectAll:) || action == @selector(paste:))
        return NO;
    return [super canPerformAction:action withSender:sender];
}

  • In order to do this, you need to subclass your UITextView and put this method. override func canPerformAction(_ action: Selector, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool { if (action == #selector(copy(_:))) { return false } if (action == #selector(cut(_:))) { return false } if (action == #selector(paste(_:))) { return false } return super.canPerformAction(action, withSender: sender) } – Zaldy Bughaw May 25 '17 at 11:58
