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];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.title = @"";
If you are using storyboard you can select the navigation item in the parent view controller and set the button text you want in 'Back Button' field. Remember to set this in the parent view controller, not in the child that is pushed.
