I have a long text coming from my JSON file but when I click the link from my UITableViewCell to go to my UIViewController page, the UITextView text loads the string content but it does not show the content from the beginning and I have to scroll up all the time.

What I need to do?

I had the same problem, and turns out I had to set the content offset in viewDidLayoutSubviews for it to take effect. I'm using this code to display attributed static text.

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
    [self.yourTextView setContentOffset:CGPointZero animated:NO];
}

SWIFT 3:

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
    self.textView.setContentOffset(CGPoint.zero, animated: false)
}
