Table view cell focus effect appears on touch

Some of the table views in my application are showing a focus effect when touching the screen. From my understanding and using Apple’s apps and samples, the focus effect should only appear when using the keyboard for navigation. I can’t figure out how to disable the focus effect for touches without disabling keyboard navigation entirely though.

I have another table view, that is set up in an almost identical way but with a different cell layout, but never shows a focus effect even with the keyboard, although I can see the table scroll as I press the arrow down key.

I haven’t started implementing any custom focus code yet. I just build the app with Xcode 13 and dropped support for iOS 13.

Any help is appreciated!
