How to set tab bar item title programmatically in objective c?

You can set all the UITabBar icons in an easy way. You can do this in your viewWillAppear: method:

[[self.tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0] setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"BotonMapas", @"comment")];[[self.tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:1] setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"BotonRA", @"comment")];[[self.tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:2] setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"BotonEstado", @"comment")];[[self.tabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:3] setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"LabelInfo", @"comment")];

Swift 3.1 Solution

self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items?[0].title = NSLocalizedString("BotonMapas", comment: "comment")self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items?[1].title = NSLocalizedString("BotonRA", comment: "comment")self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items?[2].title = NSLocalizedString("BotonEstado", comment: "comment")self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items?[3].title = NSLocalizedString("LabelInfo", comment: "comment")

How I do it in the actual View Controller (not the App Delegate):

// set tab titleself.title = @"Tab Title";// optionally, set different title for navigation controllerself.navigationItem.title = @"Nav Title";// Note: self.title will reset Nav Title. Use it first if you want different titles

An easy way to do this : In your viewController2 's viewDidLoad method, set self.title = @"MyTitle";
