you can use the UILongPressGestureRecognizer event for button, in that on start of gesture we can clear the text and end it on gesture end. for code go through the below link

Get the UITextField's text property, remove the last character and set the new string back to the UITextField.

- (void)someButtonPressed:(id)sender {
    NSString *text = [myTextField text];
    text = [text substringToIndex:[text length] - 1];
    [myTextField setText:text];
}
