You need to override canPerformAction:withSender: and return NO for the actions you don't want.

- (BOOL)canPerformAction:(SEL)action withSender:(id)sender { if (action == @selector(_myCustomActionSelector:)) return YES; return NO; }

This doesn't work for me - actions that I want to hide not even passed to this method (you can test it via NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromSelector(action)); before returing. - iOS 7 and 8

If you aren't being asked about a particular selector it probably means there is something ahead of you in the responder chain that is accepting it. -canPerformAction:withSender: is called on the current first responder, and if it returns NO the next responder is asked. If any responder returns YES the next responder is not consulted.

Thanks, axiixc, I need to subclass my UI element and write this method in .m file of that sublass. It works.

I tried this solution for WKWebView so that I can remove the system callouts like copy, lookup, and share. This solution didnt work, these events never came

With WKWebView, I'm not sure there is a good way to do this. The WKWebView itself isn't the first responder, there is a deeper object which takes this role and will respond before higher responder have a chance.
