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

The easiest way to do this programmatically is to set backBarButtonItem from the parent view controller (a controller that calls push).

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
        navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backBarButtonItem
    }
}
