Answer 1

SWIFT 3:

In AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

let customMenuItem = UIMenuItem(title: "Delete", action:
#selector(TableViewCell.deleteMessageActionTapped(sender:)))
        UIMenuController.shared.menuItems = [customMenuItem]
        UIMenuController.shared.update()

in your TableViewContoller Class:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, shouldShowMenuForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canPerformAction action: Selector, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool {
        return action == #selector(copy(_:)) || action == #selector(TableViewCell.yourActionTapped(sender:))
    }



 override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, performAction action: Selector, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath, withSender sender: Any?) {
   if action == #selector(copy(_:)) {
        let pasteboard = UIPasteboard.general
        pasteboard.string = messages[indexPath.row].text
   }
}
