In this you don't need to make PickerView every time. Make first time pickerview and reload components every time

 -(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
   [self.view endEditing:YES];
   if (textField==_text1)
 {
    _text1.delegate=self;
 } else if(textField==_text2) {
     _text2.delegate=self;
 } else {
    _text3.delegate=self;
  }
 selectedTextfieldValue=(int)textField.tag;
 [myPickerView reloadAllComponents];
}
