UIBarButtonItem *btnBack = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
                                   initWithTitle:@"Back" 
                                   style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
                                   target:self
                                   action:@selector(OnClick_btnBack:)];
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = btnBack;
    [btnBack release];

self.navigationController.navigationBar.backItem.title = @"TEXT";

在Swift中:

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backItem?.title = "TEXT"

self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] 
                                              initWithTitle:@"Log out" 
                                              style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone 
                                              target:nil 
                                              action:nil] autorelease];

你可以把它放在父控制器代码中的任何你喜欢的地方，这允许你为不同的子视图有不同的后退按钮。

我们有两个VC A和B。

如果你想在B中更改标题，请在A中编写这段代码

- (IBAction)goToBViewController:(UIButton *)sender {

    BViewController *vc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"VC"];
    UIBarButtonItem *newBackButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Your title here"
                                                                  style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                                 target:nil
                                                                 action:nil];
    [[self navigationItem] setBackBarButtonItem:newBackButton];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:NO];

}

Swift 4.1 Xcode 9.4

let secondViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "VC"])
let newBackButton = UIBarButtonItem.init(title: "Your title here", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: nil, action: nil)
navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.backBarButtonItem = newBackButton
navigationController?.pushViewController(secondViewController!, animated: true)

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];

这是另一种方法。

在你的父视图控制器中，实现以下方法:

- (void) setBackBarButtonItemTitle:(NSString *)newTitle {
  self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.title = newTitle;
}

在你的子视图控制器中，当你想要改变标题时，这将会工作:

NSArray *viewControllerArray = [self.navigationController viewControllers];
int parentViewControllerIndex = [viewControllerArray count] - 2;
[[viewControllerArray objectAtIndex:parentViewControllerIndex] setBackBarButtonItemTitle:@"New Title"];

我从来没有能够让parentViewController属性工作:

[(ParentViewController *)(self.navigationController.parentViewController) setBackBarButtonItemTitle:@"New Title"];

我不知道这是一个错误还是我没有正确使用它。但是在viewControllers数组中抓取倒数第二个视图控制器指向父视图控制器，我可以用那个引用正确地调用父方法。
