• Bar Button item − It is a button that's usually created on a Toolbar or a navigation bar.

Select the toolbar, give it a bottom, left and right constraint of 0 and an height of 50.

Download a back image and select the bar button item on the toolbar. Select the image from attribute inspector. From the attribute inspector you can select properties like Image, title, tint color etc.
