Answer 1

If you have a ViewControllerA and you want to navigate to the ViewControllerB, in the ViewControllerA, you should set the current navigationItem with a new UIBarButtonItem and the title to a string with blank space before push to another view controller:

Set the title to a string with a blank space, you can't set nil or "" (empty string) because the default value is nil

let backItem = UIBarButtonItem()
backItem.title = " "
navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backItem
let controllerB = ViewControllerB()
navigationController?.pushViewController(controllerB, animated: true)
