Just add a navigation title as normal and a blank string as a ToolbarItem in the .principal placement, which will cover/hide the nav title.

It's not elegant by any means and may even be horrible UX. Let me know if you have thoughts!

My app pulls a small amount of content from Wikipedia using the MediaWiki API, and I wonder if this could replace that.

Made a few minor adjustments to the sheet/picker style. Full code: gist.github.com/alexl9412/54...

And now I've duplicated the filtering logic. Looks pretty good overall! My only annoyance is that when changing the filter option from "All" to another option (or vice versa), the first time the filter button expands/contracts, it animates, but not on subsequent times.

I've improved this a little bit. The animation and animation speed don't quite match the one in Mail, but this works for now:

That's helpful! It looks like this change effects segmented pickers but not those created with the .searchScopes modifier, indicating that the Music app uses the former. I tried placing the picker with ToolbarItem(placement: .principal) and others, but the picker disappears when search is activated.

Here's a better illustration of the problem. I've been trying to update my app's search feature for iOS 26 but can't get the search scopes/segmented picker to match the appearance and behavior of the one in the Music app. Any ideas?

I think it would be a good foil to your interview with Josh/the Browser Company and the new focus on AI browsers, and it would be a more developer-focused conversation rather than a corporation- or user-focused one.
