Is there a way to change the text position in UITa

Question

This is a custom tab bar I intended to put up on the screen. However, my partner want the text to be slightly up. How can I do so?

Answer 1

You probably want to apply this offset globally, so I'd suggest

Obj-C

[UITabBarItem appearance].titlePositionAdjustment = UIOffsetMake(0, -4);

Swift:

UITabBarItem.appearance().titlePositionAdjustment = UIOffset(horizontal: 0, vertical: -4)

Answer 2

I've found the answer here: ios tabbar put text in the middle when no image will try this one and see how it goes :)

Update: It works. Only 1 line of code.

Answer 3

Why don't you just have an empty title property for your view controller and add the title to your custom images for the tab?

UPDATE: For the sake of completeness of answer; from comments and ios tabbar put text in the middle when no image

[tab.tabBarItem setTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(0, -10)]

Answer 4

You can do it directly from Interface Builder (Custom Offset in Title Position), like this:
