UITextView text color doesn't reset after setting attributed text

Question

I am using UITextView in my app and I'm having a strange behaviour. My UITextView has white colour as text colour. I am setting some attributed text with blue colour in my UITextView and it works as expected, But as soon as I delete the text and type next time, text colour turns blue. I have tried setting text colour again to white but no luck. See screenshots attached for better understanding of the issue.

UPDATE

1. code to turn particular text to blue

      -(NSMutableAttributedString*)decorateTagsWithString:(NSString *)string andTaggedUsers:(NSArray*)taggedUsers {


    NSError *error = nil;

    if (!string) {
        return nil;

    //NSRegularExpression *regexHash = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"#(\\w+)" options:0 error:&error];


    //NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(@|#)(\\w+)" options:0 error:&error];


    NSDictionary *attrs = @{ NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:16.0f] ,NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor whiteColor]};
    NSMutableAttributedString *attString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:string attributes:attrs];

    if (taggedUsers.count > 0) {

        for (AtTagUserModel* selectedFriend in taggedUsers) {
            NSString *pattern = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"@%@", [self decodeToUTF:selectedFriend.alias]];

            NSRegularExpression *expression = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:pattern options:0 error:nil];
            NSArray *matches = [expression matchesInString:string options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, string.length)];

                UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:15.0f];
                [attString addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:font range:NSMakeRange(0, stringLength)];


                //Set Background Color
                //UIColor *backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
                //[attString addAttribute:NSBackgroundColorAttributeName value:backgroundColor range:wordRange];

                //Set Foreground Color
                UIColor *foregroundColor = kTagColor;
                [attString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:foregroundColor range:wordRange];

                NSString* userId = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@",@"875698789456",selectedFriend.userId];
                NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:userId];

                [attString addAttribute:NSLinkAttributeName value:url range:wordRange];
                // NSLog(@"Found tag %@", word);

            }
        }
    }
    return attString;
}

    return YES;

Answer 1

Fixed the issue by setting typing attributes to textView

- (BOOL)growingTextView:(HPGrowingTextView *)growingTextView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text {

    NSString* fullText = [growingTextView.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:text];
    growingTextView.internalTextView.typingAttributes = @{NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15],NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor whiteColor]};

    return YES;
}
