You can simply just make another function for UIButton for easy future usage.

extension UIButton {
    func setTitleWithoutAnimation(_ title: String?, for controlState: UIControlState) {
        UIView.performWithoutAnimation {
            self.setTitle(title, for: controlState)
            self.layoutIfNeeded()
        }
    }
}

That is it!

And just set the title as you would before but replace setTitle with setTitleWithoutAnimation
