<p>When you tap a row in a <code>UITableView</code>, the row is highlighted and selected. Is it possible to disable this so tapping a row does nothing?</p>

All you have to do is set the selection style on the
```
UITableViewCell
```
instance using either:
Objective-C:
```
```
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
```
```
or
```
```
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
```
```
Swift 2:
```
```
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.None
```
```
Swift 3 and 4.x:
```
```
cell.selectionStyle = .none
```
```
Further, make sure you either don't implement
```
-tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:
```
in your table view delegate or explicitly exclude the cells you want to have no action if you do implement it.
