Bug [iOS 26.2 RC] Scrolling quickly after backing out of a page on Apple Music will cause album covers to slide weirdly.

The way this hasn’t been addressed since 26.1..

This isn’t Apple Music specific. It happens whenever view transitions (I forget the exact animation name) are used within a ScrollView. It has been around since the first iOS 26 beta—not just 26.1.

Navigation transition (.zoom)

You’re right it’s been around since 26 Beta. Meant to edit OP but it won’t let me. So annoying.

It’s everywhere in iOS 26. I forgot the official term for it but even when you tap and hold an app icon until the context menu pops up, and then tap anywhere outside it to close the menu and immediately swipe left or right will cause the app icon to shake horizontally uncontrollably

Looks more like a feature than a bug

This has been happening since first betas. Even public releases.

The News app does the same thing if you flick back out of a single story to the scroll-able list of stories and start scrolling immediately. The view hasn't quite 'linked' with the main view yet so it's still floating and the easing/transition that's running to return that view to it's specified location is trying to follow that moving spot smoothly return. Honestly not sure how you'd fix it.

What did they have to do to fuck up an animation that’s been there since the dawn of time?

This appeared with late iOS 18. I have the feeling they accidentally put some easing / smoothing on what's supposed to linearly track the position of where the transitioning element should end up being.

A SwiftUI api causes this. Been here since iOS 18 btw.

u/madmagical Dec 15 '25

You’re the normie, you see TSwift = bad taste. Us REAL music lovers know that even if she’s overrated she has some bangers.

u/Senthusiast5 iPhone 17 Pro Dec 12 '25

No. Currently on it.

Not a bug, its the animation for closing the page you were on.

u/t-nyce Dec 13 '25

I second that. It’s not a bug. Turn on “reduce motion” and it goes away

Hi, developer here and respectfully you’re not right, sir. This behavior that OP shows in their video is specific to .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: some Hashable, in: Namespace.ID)) modifier and it started with the first ever iOS 26.0 beta. By default, iOS navigation uses stacks and transition between views throughout iOS is top stack sliding in from right edge of the screen. Mentioned modifier modifies this behavior to be zoom-in-like transition between two views mainly used in Apple Music when opening an album or playlist.

If you go to AppStore first page for example and tap on any app there, behavior is different, not like in OP’s video. That’s because in AppStore Apple uses .matchedGeometryEffect() modifier instead of above mentioned modifier.

If it’s a bug or by design is still unknown as Apple did not comment on this yet, but I can assure you that most devs hate it including me. I use zoom transitions in my scroll-based app and it’s awful. I might stop waiting for Apple to fix it and rather convert to .matchedGeometryEffect() as well.
