Please try with below way -

 self.txtView.text = nil;
 [self.txtView setValue:nil forKey:@"contentToHTMLString"];
 [self.txtView setValue:[self.dictHelp valueForKey:@"HelpText"] forKey:@"contentToHTMLString"];

Just check this code, I found in this Link:- It's a work around but it works nice!

self.txtView.selectable = NO; // set it to NO clears all possible data detection work so far.
self.txtView.selectable = YES; // set it to YES so that actual links are detected.
