Apple Will Let Users Dial Back Liquid Glass Even More

Apple is continuing to refine its controversial Liquid Glass software design, introduced in iOS 26 and Apple's other new software this year. The design was initially introduced with a very clear "glass" look, but was tweaked based on user feedback by the time of final release. Now, the newest beta version of iOS 26.1 adds a new "tinted" option that makes Liquid Glass interface elements look even less transparent. In iOS 26.1 public beta 4, this new "Liquid Glass" setting can be found under "Display & Brightness" in the Settings app.
