UINavigationItem: Difference between title and prompt

Question

I want to use a navigation bar, and I realize that it has title and prompt.

What is the difference between them?

How is this related to `xcode`? What have you tried? This question has little to no information or shows any kind of research. Help us help you — Popeye, Jun 26 '13 at 08:10
with the new tagging (uinavigationitem), this is actually a very clear question, and the answers are spot on. Vote to reopen. — SimplGy, May 22 '15 at 11:11
....and it continually gets upvotes. I hate when people try to say "oh you could have found this out by a little research". Like this is our research and it brought me here, why can't you just answer the question and take the free reputation points. — Eric33187, Apr 12 '21 at 22:41

Although apple documentation does not provide enough information to understand the difference, you could have got answer by little search.

TitleView - Used to display main title of you controller.

Prompt - Used to provide some additional information to your user.

e.g. You can have title as "Grocery List" with Prompt as "Please select appropriate type"

Interesting, my long prompts always end in an ellipsis in iOS 7. – Danyal Aytekin May 17 '14 at 17:46
