It seems that setting the text to nil before setting the new text doesn't work. You also might need to be able to scroll the text view, so setting the scrollEnabled might not be an option.

However, it works when you create and set an attributed string to the cell's text view. I used a collection view, but it should be the same with table views. I wrote the following lines in the collectionView:cellForItemAtIndexPath:

//get the color and other properties from your UITextView
UIColor *textColor = cell.textView.textColor;
UIFont *messageFont = cell.textView.font;

//create your attributed string
NSAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:yourStringForTheTextView attributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:textColor, NSFontAttributeName:messageFont}];

//set it to your UITextView
cell.textView.attributedText = attributedString;

Hope this helps :).
