How to hide only the back bar button item title in iOS objective c

I know to hide the back bar button item. But I want to hide only the title of the bar button i.e. the back button is like this: "< Back". I want only the arrow not the name i.e. "<". How do I remove the "Back" and retain only the back arrow.

Thanks,

*Swift 3.1 You can do this by implementing the delegate method of UINavigationController. It'll hide the Title with back button only, we'll still get the back arrow image and default functionality.

func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, 
  willShow viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) {
        let barBttn = UIBarButtonItem(title: " ", style: .plain, target: nil, 
                    action: nil)
        viewController.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = barBttn
    }

It's Easy

(1) Create LeftbarButton item

UIImage *imgBackArrow = [UIImage imageNamed:@"back_arrow"];
UIBarButtonItem *barBackButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:imgBackArrow style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(backButtonClicked)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barBackButton;

(2) Hide Xcode back Button

[self.navigationItem setHidesBackButton:YES];

You can achieved this easily from storyboard, go to your specific view of storyboard for whom you want to show blank back button title with arrow.

Then make sure you added navigation item in your specific view:

Then on the right panel you can find:

You just need to give some empty space in the back button box:

And you are done. Hope it will help you thanks.
