Answer 1

Try to use this Hope this help to you

Links are not clickable by default in a UITextView. But luckily they can be enabled with a few simple lines of code:

self.review.editable = NO;//required
self.review.selectable = YES;//required
self.review.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeLink;

Unfortunately you cannot have an editable UITextView with clickable links. If you set editable to YES, then all links will be treated as regular text.

EDIT

Have u check properly it may be UITextview disable in your .xib file.

Check the "Selectable" and "Links" checkboxes in the textview Attributes Inspector:
