None of the results above worked for me. The one reducing the width did not work because I had set

control.segmentDistribution = .fillEqually

What worked for me was resetting the segment control's count. Here an example when the data source for the segments is ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"]. Imagine you want to remove "Option 2":

var segmentDataSource = ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"]

segmentDataSource.remove(at: 1)

let oldSelectedSegment = control.selectedSegment

control.segmentCount = segmentDataSource.count
control.selectedSegment = max(0, oldSelectedSegment - 1)
for (index, option) in segmentDataSource.enumerated() {
    control.setLabel(option, forSegment: index)
}

Yes ,try this it's working for me ,It's only one line of code ,

Objective C 

 [self.segmentControl removeSegmentAtIndex:0 animated:NO];

Swift

 segmentControl.removeSegment(at: 0, animated: false)

The code remove 0 index segment and show only one segment invisible.

Hope this helps.

You can't hide it but you can make its width very very small which will make it invisible for the user. It has to be > 0 because 0 = automatic width.

[yourSegmentedControl setWidth:0.1 forSegmentAtIndex:1];

To be in the safe side, also disable it to reduce the chance of selection to zero.

[mapTypeSC setEnabled:NO forSegmentAtIndex:1];

Though it seems there is no way to hide a segment in a segment control, you could remove a segment from the segment control using removeSegmentAtIndex:animated: method. You need either insertSegmentWithImage:atIndex:animated: or insertSegmentWithTitle:atIndex:animated: method to insert the segment again.

Instead of hiding/showing a segment you could consider enabling/disabling it using setEnabled:forSegmentAtIndex: method.
