Cursor position not same after remove text in a UITextView

Question

I'm looking for solution for this problem. I want my cursor to be at the starting position normally.

I have a UITextView , which the users can input a message and send it. But when users send the message, or they just remove the text in UITextView , the beginning of the cursor(blinking bar) is not the same position, the position depends on the length of the text they had sent or removed. If the text is only 1 line, the cursor position will be in the top left corner of UITextView , otherwise, if the text is longer than 1 line, the cursor position will be in the bottom left corner of UITextView .

I tried both setMarkedText after becomeFirstResponder() and automaticallyAdjustsScrollIndicatorInsets but it still not work.

More Info:

In the first time touch in this UITextView, the cursor jumps from center vertically to top left corner too.

You can add a UILabel over the UITextView which will act as a placeholder for the textView. When user taps on the UILabel would send the action to the textView and makes it becomeFirstResponder. When you start typing, make the label hidden.
