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

I know this is an old question and the answers' kind of out updated!

The easy way is to do this in parent ViewController:

i.e the one that takes you to next view controller.

self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem  = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Custom text here", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
