这适用于Swift 5:

self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem?.title = ""

请注意，它将对下一个被推送的视图控制器有效，而不是当前显示的视图控制器，这就是为什么它非常令人困惑!

同样，检查故事板并选择前一个视图控制器的导航项，然后在后退按钮(检查器)中键入一些内容。

back按钮属于前一个视图控制器，而不是当前显示在屏幕上的那个。 要修改返回按钮，你应该在按之前更新它，在启动segue的视图控制器上:

override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    let backItem = UIBarButtonItem()
    backItem.title = "Something Else"
    navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backItem // This will show in the next view controller being pushed
}

Swift 3,4和5:

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
    let backItem = UIBarButtonItem()
    backItem.title = "Something Else"
    navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backItem // This will show in the next view controller being pushed
}

OR

// in your viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear
navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(
    title: "Something Else", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)

如果你正在为视图控制器使用xib文件，那么在你的视图控制器类中这样做。

class AboutUsViewController: UIViewController {

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    edgesForExtendedLayout = []
    setUpNavBar()
}

func setUpNavBar(){
    //For title in navigation bar
    self.navigationController?.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
    self.navigationController?.view.tintColor = UIColor.orange
    self.navigationItem.title = "About Us"

    //For back button in navigation bar
    let backButton = UIBarButtonItem()
    backButton.title = "Back"
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.backBarButtonItem = backButton
}

}

结果将是:

你可以从接口生成器这样做:

单击上一个视图控制器的导航项

在属性检查器中，将后退按钮文本设置为您想要的任何文本。这就是它! !

在我的案例中，解决方案是在移动到子视图控制器之前清除主视图控制器的导航项。如果再次显示，请重新设置

MasterController

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    navigationItem.title = "Master Title"
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    navigationItem.title = ""
}

这就是我如何推送一个UIViewController并清除子控制器中的后栏按钮项:

MasterController

let childController = ChildController(collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewFlowLayout())
childController.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem?.title = ""
navigationController?.pushViewController(childController, animated: true)

如果你对任何多星建议有问题，确保你在viewDidLoad()中注册你的UITableViewCells，而不是从init()
