Most of solutions kills the original style of BackButton (The left arrowed bar button) while adding a usual button with desired title. So to keep the original style there are 2 ways: 1st: To use undocumented button style (110 or something like that) which I prefer not to do. But if you want you could find how to do it here, on stackoverflow. 2nd: To use I the Trenskow's idea. I liked it and I use it a bit changed. Instead of overriding - (NSString*)title I've decided to keep the original title in the following way (which allows me to use nib's titles as well as given title at push state btw).

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    static NSString * backButtonTitle=@"Back"; //or whatever u want

    if (![self.title isEqualToString:backButtonTitle]){

        UILabel* customTitleView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
        customTitleView.text = self.title; // original title
        customTitleView.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20];
        customTitleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        customTitleView.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
        customTitleView.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.5];
        customTitleView.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, -1);

        [customTitleView sizeToFit];

        self.navigationItem.titleView = [customTitleView autorelease];
        self.title = backButtonTitle; 
    }
}

这个解决方案效果很好，看起来很自然。此外，如果在viewDidLoad方法中使用它，它可以防止执行超过1次。 我也试过杰塞德克的解决方案，但看起来很糟糕。它导致可见的用户标题栏的变化，从原来的BackButton的期望和回来。

这在Swift 4和iOS 11中都适用。最常见的情况是，当用户点击表视图中的一行，一个新的视图控制器被推送到导航堆栈时，我需要这样做。通常我希望返回按钮是被点击的行所表示的对象的名称或某些属性。我通常在didSelectRowAt中这样做。是这样的:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {

    let object = // get the object this row represents

    let backButton = UIBarButtonItem()
    backButton.title = object.name // or whatever
    self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton

    // now show or segue to the next view controller
}

这应该放在调用名为NewTitle的ViewController的方法中。 就在push或popViewController语句之前。

UIBarButtonItem *newBackButton = 
        [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"NewTitle" 
                                         style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered 
                                        target:nil 
                                        action:nil];
[[self navigationItem] setBackBarButtonItem:newBackButton];
[newBackButton release];

TableViewController1  ---segue--->   TableViewController2

你可以在TableViewController1或TableViewController2中更改返回按钮的文本。

更改TableViewController1内部的返回按钮文本:

1)在viewWillAppear():

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)

    let myBackButton = UIBarButtonItem()
    myBackButton.title = "Custom text"
    navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = myBackButton
}

由于某种原因，viewDidLoad()还太早，不能将后退按钮添加到NavigationItem中。要连接两个tableviewcontroller，在storyboard控件中，从TableViewController1中的TableViewCell拖到TableViewController2的中间，然后在弹出菜单中选择Selection Segue > Show。

2)在tableView(_:didSelectRowAt:):

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt: IndexPath) {

    let myButton = UIBarButtonItem()
    myButton.title = "Custom text"
    navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = myButton

    performSegue(withIdentifier: "ShowMyCustomBackButton", sender: nil)
}

要连接两个tableviewcontroller，在storyboard控件中，从TableViewController1上面的黄色小圆圈拖到TableViewController2中间，然后从弹出菜单中选择Manual Segue > Show。然后选择连接两个TableViewControllers的segue，在属性检查器中“Identifier”旁边输入“ShowMyCustomBackButton”。

3)在故事板中:

如果你只是需要静态的自定义文本返回按钮，为TableViewController1选择NavigationItem(它在故事板的目录表中有一个<图标)，然后打开属性检查器，在“back button”字段中输入你的自定义文本(确保从该字段中tab出来，更改生效)。

更改TableViewController2内部的返回按钮文本:

1)在viewWillAppear():

class MySecondTableViewController: UITableViewController {

    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)

        let myBackButton = UIBarButtonItem(
            title: "<Custom text",
            style: .plain,
            target: self,
            action: #selector(goBack)  //selector() needs to be paired with an @objc label on the method
        )

        navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = myBackButton
    }

    @objc func goBack() {
        navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
    }

要连接两个tableviewcontroller，在storyboard控件中，从TableViewController1中的TableViewCell拖到TableViewController2的中间，然后在弹出菜单中选择Selection Segue > Show。

iOS 11+解决方案-不需要再次创建后退按钮。

将backButtonTitle设置为前一屏幕上的一个空格。

// If navigation is from A -> B, set in A's `viewDidLoad`.
navigationItem.backButtonTitle = " "
