How to control/Hide shortcut action in UITextView

Question

Here I have a custom UITextView. It shows many of the shortcuts that is not needed and also it shows wrong action, like when textview is empty it shows the "cut" "copy" "select" & "select all" action that is not required. Please refer to the screenshot for more clarity. Click here

Try this to disable the entire Select/Copy/Paste Menu in a UITextView

-(BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender
{    
  [UIMenuController sharedMenuController].menuVisible = NO;
  return NO;    
}

For Swift 3 `override public func canPerformAction(_ action: Selector, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool { return false }` – Shahrukh Feb 07 '17 at 13:54
I don't want to disable the entire menu.I just want normal textview behavior. – Salman Ghumsani Feb 07 '17 at 14:05
