With iOS 26, Apple is fundamentally changing the look of the iPhone. The new design is called Liquid Glass and characterizes the entire user interface. It is based on transparency and light reflections that create depth and give the system a more modern appearance. However, opinions are divided. Some see this as a major improvement, while others find the display cluttered or difficult to read. For those who aren't happy with Liquid Glass, there's a solution: In the iOS 26 settings, the effect can be reduced to give the interface a more familiar feel \u2013 similar to iOS 18.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design changes are among the biggest differences between new iOS versions. In the past, there have been discussions about fonts, icon sizes, and color schemes. However, with iOS 26, Apple is introducing one of the most striking changes in years. Liquid Glass is the central design element and determines the appearance of all menus and controls. However, it is precisely this approach that is causing controversy on social media and in forums. While some users appreciate the modern look, others long for the cleaner and calmer appearance of iOS 18. Apple has responded to this and offers a feature in iOS 26 that improves contrast and reduces transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liquid Glass in iOS 26<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Liquid Glass design brings a translucent look to all devices running iOS 26. Menus appear glassy, backgrounds shine through, and the entire interface appears fluid. This visual depth is intended to create a modern experience. At the same time, however, the high transparency makes text or icons difficult to read in some situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different reactions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of Liquid Glass has generated very mixed feedback on social media. Many praise its futuristic character, while others see it as a deterioration in usability. Readability, in particular, is frequently criticized. Those who value clarity find the design too playful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution: Reduce transparency in iOS 26<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Apple has integrated a settings option into iOS 26 that doesn't completely disable Liquid Glass, but significantly softens it. The "Reduce Transparency" menu item allows you to adjust the design. This changes the display to be closer to the look of iOS 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
