How to change iPhone UITableView delete button title while editing it

Question

I need to change the title of the default delete button that appears when I attempt to delete a row from a UITableView after setting editing to YES

Answer 1

Swift

Add this method to your UITableView delegate (probably your view controller).

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> String? {
    return "Erase"
}

This makes the button say "Erase" but you can use any string you want.
