How to have a back button always go to the previous view controller

I have multiple views, some of which are part of tabBarControllers, and the views are pushing to one view controller called View2. When I go back to the view that presented view2, how would I go back to a specific tab in the tab bar instead of going to the first one?

My action for the button that goes back to the first view is 

-(IBAction)goBackButton:(id)sender
{
    ViewController *firstView = [myStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"view1"];
    [self presentViewController:firstView animated:YES completion:nil];
}

So ViewController is the class of the first view in the tab bar, and the tabBarController has the identifier "view1"

If View2 has been pushed then your backbuttons action should call:

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

If View2 is a modal then your backbuttons action should call:

[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];

And whichever scene called View2 will reappear for you.
