UINavigationController “back button” custom text?

Question

The \"back button\" of a UINavigationController by default shows the title of the last view in the stack. Is there a way to have custom text in the back button

Answer 1

You can set the text in the Interface Builder:

Select the navigation item of the ViewController that the back button would return to:

In the utilities panel attribute inspector, enter your label for the Back Button:

I would prefer this approach over setting the title in code as in the accepted answer.

Also note, you need to do this in the view controller one level up the stack. In other words, don't do this in the visible view controller, but in the view controller that you'd see if you hit the back button.
