Answer 1

SWIFT 5 this worked for me. Thanks

self.navigationItem.leftItemsSupplementBackButton = true

Answer 2

As stated by steipete in the comment to the question, this is possible starting from iOS 5. You can use

self.navigationItem.leftItemsSupplementBackButton = YES;

and then you just need to add an UIBarButtonItem as leftButton to get a second button after the back button

UIBarButtonItem *secondButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Second" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(yourAction)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = secondButton;
