But the biggest change in iOS 26 is the new visual design that your device brings, which Apple calls Liquid Glass.
This is the biggest visual update Apple has brought to your iPhone since its release iOS 7 In 2013. The redesign makes the menu and other visual elements appear translucent, and some elements squeeze and swing as you interact with them.
Some people have been torn apart About the design of Apple’s developer Beta when it released iOS 26. Apple tweaked the design during the iOS 26 beta process to improve transparency by adding more matte looks, but you’re still not happy with it. Thankfully, you only need a few steps to adjust the liquid glass design, which greatly reduces its transparency.

Increased contrast adds outline to elements throughout the iPhone.
If you want to use Clear the app icon optionI do not recommend reducing transparency or increasing contrast. I really like the clear icons because it ensures that your background is the main focus, but the icons are still visible enough to distinguish each icon. When these other options are enabled, it is like the icon is taking center position.
