How to stop users selecting text in a UIWebView or WKWebView
Using a web view to show rich media easily is a common thing to do, but by default users can select the text and that makes it look a little less like native code. To fix this, add the following CSS to the HTML you load, and users won't be able to select anything again:
<style type="text/css">
* {
-webkit-touch-callout: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
}
</style>Available from iOS 2.0
