What happens to the liquid glass?
Like every year, in September, we already have a new version of iOS. In this case, it is available to download iOS 26, which includes many other novelties, a new design language: Liquid glass. It will happen that Apple has launched it with too many IU errors and there are smoking users.
Admittedly, since I tried iOS 26 in my first beta version, the thing has improved significantly. Now, despite consecutive beta -versions that launched Apple seems to be that The interface is not completely. Just look at some Reddit topics to implement.
For example, the Burgerkhaega user mentions that the new Apple system is a complete disaster and there are many items that cannot be well visualized. One of them is widgets, though the dark regime also gets criticized.
Another topic gives several examples of errors in the interface. For example, the alarm now has huge buttons, which also have a somewhat confused transparency, leaving the entire lock screen.
Finally, in this topic, the user shows how several elements of the telephone application are somewhat wrong. There are even some videos where they show inconsistencies and images that show that there are areas that have not taken liquid glass.
Overall, iOS 26 feels an unfinished or hasty version. If you have already updated but do not consider the return to iOS 18 (though you can still), I show how to improve this catastrophe slightly.
How to improve Apple’s “disaster”?
Liquid glass as characteristic, Its cannot be deactivated. What’s going on is what there are some adjustments availability Which can help reduce transparency, interface effects and transitions. Eye! With that I don’t mean that the method doesn’t work because it works. I mean that Apple has not allowed to manage the deactivation of liquid glass. On the contrary, we have to use a little ingenuity.
So the process I comment below is effective, You don’t need to do anything special. Let’s see what you should do.
Disconnect the liquid glass of the step
To turn off the liquid glass, follow the following:
- Enter your iPhone settings.
- Show up to Availability.
- Enter in the section The size of the screen and the text.
- Find the section Reduce transparency.
With this adjustment you have achieved a lot. In fact, on the bottom image you see the difference in the aspect of the control center. In the picture that leaves you just below, the option Reduce transparency It is disabled. In the background there is a musical application with an open list.
In this other capture, transparency has completely disappeared.
This change extends to the entire system. You will see the difference in buttons, sliding and other interface elements. In addition to the adjustment I have already mentioned, you also have some ways to reduce the presence of liquid glass. Need just go to section Settings> Accessibility> Screen and Text Size. Then activate these parameters:
- Increase unlike. This is what the elements look much clearer and more noticeable. Following the control center, the buttons have a clearer edge. In general, the whole interface is easier to read because each element is flattened and loses the effect of glass.
- The bold text. When its activation is activated the bold printing press. In fact, if you have activated the reduction of transparency and the increase in contrast, in my opinion, everything is clear. What I recommend is to try this adjustment with activated liquid glass to find out if it convinces it. Be that as it may, it is much easier to read all the texts of the system or transparent or without them.
With these adjustments you will be able to disable the main characterization of the liquid glass, namely transparency. In a strict sense, the design language continues to apply, but it is easier to visualize. In fact, a decrease in transparency This applies to a translucent icon versionWhich you can choose in the main screen setup section.
Here you have a default display option:
This is the one you reach without transparency:
Despite these changes, you can see some errors in the interface. As I said in the previous section, this time Apple launched a small sanded interface.
