Swift 3   button setImage UIImage named   selected image    for    selected   highlighted     OR  button setImage UIImage named   selected image    for  UIControlState selected union  highlighted     It means that the button current in selected state  then you touch it  show the highlight state

I think most posters here miss the point completely  I had the same problem  The original question was about the Highlighted state of a Selected button  COMBINING BOTH STATES  which cannot be set in IB and falls back to Default state with some darkening going on  Only working solution as one post mentioned    button setImage  UIImage imageNamed   pressed png   forState UIControlStateSelected   UIControlStateHighlighted

Correct me if I am wrong  By doing      button setSelected YES     you are clearly changing the state of the buttons as selected  So naturally by the code you have provided the image will that for the selected state in your case checked png

You can do this in Interface Builder   Select the UIButton you wish to set in IB then go to the attributes inspector   In the screen shots I am using a custom button type   but that does not matter

If you need the highlighted tint which the OS provides by default when you tap and hold on a custom button for the selected state as well  use this UIButton subclass  Written in Swift 5   import Foundation import UIKit class HighlightOnSelectCustomButton  UIButton       override var isHighlighted  Bool           didSet               if  self isSelected    isHighlighted                    self isHighlighted   self isSelected
