A better approach than [UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO] which may affect other animations is to only disable the specific title animation.

Objective-C:

[UIView performWithoutAnimation:^{
  [myButton setTitle:text forState:UIControlStateNormal];
  [myButton layoutIfNeeded];
}];

Swift:

UIView.performWithoutAnimation { 
    myButton.setTitle(text, for: .normal)
    myButton.layoutIfNeeded()
}
