Maybe you want the whole application to not react at all?

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginIgnoringInteractionEvents];

use [[UIApplication sharedApplication] endIgnoringInteractionEvents]; to revert this (credits to nerith)

same for Swift:

UIApplication.sharedApplication().beginIgnoringInteractionEvents()
UIApplication.sharedApplication().endIgnoringInteractionEvents()

and Swift 3/4

UIApplication.shared.beginIgnoringInteractionEvents()
UIApplication.shared.endIgnoringInteractionEvents()

edit for iOS 13: beginIgnoringInteractionEvents is deprecated in iOS13

just make a new full size View and lay it over your current view. that will allow you to block any user interaction.
