Overview

The Xamarin.iOS Segmented control is a linear segment made up of multiple segments with each segment functioning as a button. The segments are the same size and allow users to select between multiple contexts.


Display mode

Depending on your application, different scenarios may require icons, text, or a combination of both for effective communication. The segmented control supports these three options.
