Uinavigationbar Custom Back Button Without Title

UINavigationBar Hide back Button Text

In the interface builder, you can select the navigation item of the previous controller and change the Back Button string to what you'd like the back button to appear as. If you want it blank, for example, just put a space.

You can also change it with this line of code:

[self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem setTitle:@"Title here"];

Or in Swift:

self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem?.title = ""

Remove text from Back button keeping the icon

I know this already has an answer, but you can also do it in code (in case you're working with nibs)

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

Add the above in the first view controller.

Note that you need to do this for each view controller that is pushing. So if you have 3 view controllers, and you want to remove the back text from all of them, you'll have to add the line in view controller 1 and 2.

Change UINavigationBar back button title

Do this in the parent view controller not in the child

Swift

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

Objetive-C

self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:nil];

Remove UINavigationBar back button title

Just set the title of the back button to ""

Here's a example in swift

self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(
        title: "",
        style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain,
        target: nil,
        action: nil)

To do it in all the view controllers, i usually make a BaseViewController where i include that line in the viewDidLoad method. Then when i have a viewcontroller i subclass it to the BaseViewController.

Your solution could work if you also move the x value -150, but for me it sounds like hack because you are still showing it all the time, but off the view bounds.

How to hide back button title on iOS7 with NavigationController

Finally ended up solving it as follows , this one worked perfect.

self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.title = @"";

from this link Removing the title text of an iOS UIBarButtonItem

But if you navigate from previous view to next view you can see that the title of the previous view navigation bar vanishes when i put the above mentioned solution in viewDidDisappear of viewWillDisappear of previous view, which isn't an elegant solution in storyboard based UINavigationController scenario , in another situation i finally decided to use a bar button and set its image as per the native back button chevron, this gives better results.
