UISegmentedControl Not Switching Segments on iOS Beta 26

While testing my application on iOS beta 26, I am experiencing issues with the native UISegmentedControl component from UIKit. After implementing the control, I noticed that I am unable to switch to the second segment option—the selection remains fixed on the first segment regardless of user interaction. I have already reviewed the initial configuration of the control, the addition of the segments, and the implementation of the target-action, but the issue persists. I would like to understand what could be causing this behavior and if there are any specific adjustments or workarounds for iOS 26.

I created a minimal application containing only a UISegmentedControl to clearly demonstrate the issue.

ive run into this same issue i think its an actual issue with the segment control in interface builder, ive submitted a feedback but you should as well! If you create the segmented control programmatically it functions fine.

I encountered the same issue with a UISegmentedControl in IB using Xcode 26 beta 1, but this is mostly fixed in a simple test app I created when using Xcode 26 beta 2. The first tap on an unselected segment has no effect, but thereafter the control works. However, the title of the manually selected segment is still obscured as it was with Xcode 26 beta 1.

Please file a bug report and post the Feedback ID here once you do. I'll also suggest you test on the latest build as well.

Do you observe this issue on a real iPhone running iOS 26 beta?

On simulators running iOS 26 beta or iPadOS 26 beta (under Xcode 26 beta 1-3), I observe the two following issues:

When the first segment is selected and I select interactively a segment other than the first segment, the newly selected segment is hidden behind an opaque selection marker. This resembles the OPs observation in this thread numbered 789898.
When another segment than the first is selected and I select interactively another segment than the first, the first segment is selected instead. This corresponds to an issue reported in another thread numbered 791988.

On a real device, however, the segmented control works as expected. I have tested this with the same code on an iPad Air 13" M2 running iPadOS 26 beta 3 (and with the previous betas). The segmented control also works correctly even on simulators when I select the segment programmatically.

I currently cannot install iOS 26 beta on a real iPhone device to test this issue. Can anybody test UISegmentedControl on a real iPhone running iOS 26 beta, and thus verify if this is just a simulator issue?
