Overview
- iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 are now rolling out after a months‑long beta that refined Apple’s new Liquid Glass interface.
- Users can limit see‑through UI elements by enabling Reduce Transparency in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.
- Increase Contrast in the same menu offers an alternative that makes foreground elements stand out and darkens backgrounds.
- Apple adjusted the transparency and contrast during the beta cycle, yet some screens can still be hard to read.
- New icon styles are not easily changed system‑wide, and customizing them typically requires the Shortcuts app.
