Remove text from Back button keeping the icon

Question

I want to remove the text from the back button, but I want to keep the icon. I have tried

let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: \"\", style: UIBarButtonIt         


        

Answer 1

In my case, for custom icon and title this did the trick (Swift 4)

    let imgBack = UIImage(named: "ic_back")

    navigationController?.navigationBar.backIndicatorImage = imgBack
    navigationController?.navigationBar.backIndicatorTransitionMaskImage = imgBack

    navigationItem.leftItemsSupplementBackButton = true
    navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .plain, target: self, action: nil)
