You can use RegularExpression/Predicates to remove all characters between < & >.

But if your text contains some <> it will be removed

  NSRange range;
  NSString *string;
  while ((range = [string rangeOfString:@"<[^>]+>" options:NSRegularExpressionSearch]).location != NSNotFound){
    string=[string stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:@""];
  }
  NSLog(@"Un block string : %@",string);
