This solution works too and does not require subclassing UITextView, just put this function on your delegate:

OBJECTIVE C -

  dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    [textView selectAll:nil];
  });
  return YES;

SWIFT 3 -

func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        textView.selectAll(nil)
    }
}
