Very soon in my goal-tracking app Wins you’ll be able to select goals to show in widgets using 🔍Search

👋 Dear iOS developers and SwiftUI gurus. When using Menu component in iOS 26, label morphs into the menu when it’s active. In iOS 18 the label was always visible (check my screenshot).
Is it possible to turn off this morphing animation in Menu in iOS 26? It makes all sorts of problems.
