how to change uiviewcontroller title independent of tabbar item title

Question

I am setting my view controllers title like this in view did load:

self.title = @"my title";

prior to this I set the title in story boards for the view controller and navigation controller it is embedded in. I set it to: "Title";

When I click on the tab that holds the view controller the title of tab bar item and uiviewcontroller change to: my title

I would like for the view controller to change but the tab bar item to stay with the title: Title

How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

It sounds like you want the title in the navigation bar to change but not the one in the tabbar. This should do that.

[self.navigationItem setTitle:@"my title"];

Swift:

self.navigationItem.title = "My Title"
