How can we remove Liquid Glass and/or latest update?

I am very upset with the latest update. The Liquid Glass makes all of my app icons fuzzy and my astigmatism really really hates this! How can I remove this? Can I roll back the update on this unrequested feature?


Many thanks to all!!!!!

Either


Settings, Display & Brightness , Liquid glass, set to Tinted instead of Glassy


Or one or more of these


Settings, Accessibility, Display & Text size, reduce transparency


Settings, Accessibility, Display & Text size , increase contrast


Settings, Accessibility, Motion, Reduce motion

Thank you for these options. The tinted switch really helped! But I will say I also really dislike the reduce transparency and reduce contrast options. They make it more ‘dark mode’ appearing, which is also difficult with astigmatism!

I’d just like to call out this major accessibility fail on the design team, as astigmatisms are super common, and I imagine this update is negatively affecting a lot of people.
