  • Apple has released iOS 26, featuring a new design called “Liquid Glass” which creates a bubble effect around apps on an iPhone screen.
  • The design hasn’t been overwhelmingly positive, with many users criticising it for affecting legibility.
  • To turn off the feature, users can choose between 'Clear' for more transparency or 'Tinted' for increased opacity and contrast in the Liquid Glass effects.
  • To do this, users will need to go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and enable Reduce Transparency.
  • For Mac users and turn on Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and turn on Reduce Transparency.
