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 is no way to completely disable the Liquid Glass effect in iOS 26, but you can reduce its impact by going to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and turning on Reduce Transparency. This will make the interface less transparent, but it won't remove the effect entirely.
I don’t believe this was tested with anyone that is visually impaired.
I don’t know but it makes me feel sick like if it doesn’t go away I’ll be switching to android if this is their new thing it makes me so nauseous
Glad to help.
the most important thing is the accelerometer switch for glare in paintings. this greatly affects productivity and battery.
yes, but all interface effects disappear. and you only need the function to disable the effect on the icons that uses the accelerometer.
Thanks for this!! This helps!

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
