Navigation Bar

11 Jan 2022 . 2 min read

You can enable large titles in your navigation bar using prefersLargeTitles property. This property has boolean value true or false. When it's property value is true it indicates that title will be shown in large font format. When it's value is false means it will displays inline. You can enable large title with a single line of code.

navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true

You can also configure the title's appearance using largeTitleDisplayMode property. If you don't want to use large title then add following code to viewDidLoad() method.

navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = .never

However, you can also enable large title using storyboard. Select navigation bar and in attribute inspector enable Prefers Large Titles.
