Description

### Before submitting a new issue

- [x] I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
- [x] I tested using a [supported version](https://github.com/reactwg/react-native-releases/blob/main/docs/support.md) of react native.
- [x] I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

### Bug summary

Basically same as this https://github.com/callstackincubator/react-native-bottom-tabs/issues/45 but for iOS 26. Is there some native props for it? I assume yes when I check the "App Store app. See the video (it has some strange effect specially on the buttons):

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the BottomTabsStack example with disablePageAnimations on iOS 26, then compare the behavior with issue 45. Investigate the native tab animation entry point and the available props; done means the unwanted default animation is disabled without breaking tab navigation.
