Is there a way to completely disable the liquid glass functionality on iOS 26? I'm not going to get into a lengthy diatribe over why it's awful, I just want it gone.
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18
There's no off switch but however what I did is I went to settings-accessability-display & text size and reduced transparency and if that still isn't okay for you I would recommend scrolling down (same settings) and reducing white points atleast by 50% or however you like. It makes the icons less "shiny" in a way
Thanks for this!! This helps!

I'm not OCD for nothing, right??!!
Thank you Zedairder! That was exactly what I needed to know. Wonder why Apple didn't tell me about this when I spoke to them about the problem?
Did you speak to them in person or on the phone? The online Apple Support team may not have documentation for this change. They're usually following guides as much as possible.
You can disable it. You should check the other replies here before posting. How to disable liquid glass in iOS 26? - Apple Community
Even a simple google search would tell you.
There are lots of ways to minimise liquid glass effect,here is one of my phone screens and an ipad too;
Someone just gave me a great tip. There’s a new liquid glass setting. Go to display & brightness. Then liquid glass. Change the setting to tinted. That’s the best solution I’ve seen yet.
Yes please help apple. This new figure is horrible
Just wanted to say those are some really cool icons
Yes most of them are from an old theme called buuf by mattahan.And some I modified or made myself.

It was installed last night. It is wretched and will likely be what finally drives me off of iPhone.

Thanks for sharing.
Yeah but in this case the Liquid Glass effect truly is ugly. Programmers with too much time on their hands, doing something that doesn’t increase functionality at all.
