Direct HTTP fallback:
curl -X POST https://api.expo.dev/v2/feedback/docs-send -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"url":"/versions/v58.0.0/sdk/ui/swift-ui/controlgroup/","feedback":"🤖 Agent feedback for docs: <specific, actionable description> (<model>, <harness>)"}'

Only submit when you have something specific and actionable to report. Try to give the most context.

iOS, tvOS, Included in Expo Go

Expo UI ControlGroup matches the official SwiftUI [ControlGroup API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/controlgroup). When placed inside a [`Menu`](/versions/v58.0.0/sdk/ui/swift-ui/menu.md), the children are rendered as a compact horizontal row of buttons.

> **Note:** On tvOS, `ControlGroup` requires tvOS 17.0 or later.

```sh
# npm
npx expo install @expo/ui

# yarn
