Answer 1

The simplest way to do this is to use a UISegmentedControl. It consists of multiple buttons only one of which is selected at a time. It can be customized very heavily, so you can have the button images be one color when selected and another color when not selected.
This is a fairly standard UISegmentedControl:
This is a heavily customized UISegmentedControl:
As you can see, you can make the segments look however you like, and "the one that is selected changes color".

Answer 2

To implement it, example assuming you have 3 options in the segment, to receive the selected data you can use the following code in an IB:
#IBOutlet weak var optionSegment: UISegmentedControl!
var optionSelect = String()
#IBAction func indexChanged(_ sender: Any) {
switch optionSegment.selectedSegmentIndex
{
case 0:
optionSelect = "Select option 1"
print(optionSelect)
case 1:
optionSelect = "Select option 2"
print(optionSelect)
default:
optionSelect = "Select option 3"
print(optionSelect)
}
}
To use it outside of the function, you can use
let dataSelect = optionSegment.titleForSegment(at: optionSegment.selectedSegmentIndex)
print(dataSelect)
