Answer 1

If you wanted to remove the title of a back button from a pushed view controller, let's say to < in subSettingsViewController then you've to set backBarButtonItem title in SettingsViewController's viewWillDisappear() method.

Objective-C:

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
    self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"" style:self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.style target:nil action:nil];
}

Swift:

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
}
