swift long non editable text in textview (i can't see text from the beginning)

Question

I'm trying to insert a long non editable text using TextView in Swift. No problem with length or vertical scrolling. The problem is that when UIView starts I can't see text from the beginning but I always see the final part.

I attached 2 images: how it looks and how it should be.

No code at this moment for this UI View. I only utilized Xcode drag and drop tools. I could add it if necessary but I wished It could be possible to reach my goal in a faster way. — Stefano Ramilli, Jan 17 '16 at 21:27
IN that case, you seem to be missing a vertical constraint where TextView and the nav bar are aligned. — Apple-and-Oranges, Jan 17 '16 at 21:28
Here are my textview constraints: bottom = textview.bottom; textview.centerX = centerX; textview.top = Top Layout Guide.bottom; textview.Leading = leadingMargin + 4 — Stefano Ramilli, Jan 17 '16 at 21:45
Just check if there is any constraint ambiguity or misplaced view — LHIOUI, Jan 17 '16 at 22:28

Follow the hint posted by Nate Mann, I found the solution.

It's correct: myTextview.scrollRangeToVisible(NSMakeRange(0,0))

but you have to put in viewDidAppear:

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
     myTextView.scrollRangeToVisible(NSMakeRange(0, 0))
}

try mytextView..scrollRangeToVisible(NSMakeRange(0, 0))

put this in viewDidLoad()
