iOS 26 ‘Liquid Glass’ Prompts Dizziness Complaints, Workarounds Spread

Users report dizziness from the transparent look, leaving accessibility settings as the main workaround.

Overview

  • Reports describe a tilt or distortion from dynamic reflections that is more pronounced in Dark Mode or with very dark wallpapers.
  • Suggested mitigations include disabling Dark Mode, switching to lighter wallpapers, and turning on Reduce Transparency, Increase Contrast or Reduce Motion in Accessibility.
  • There is currently no setting to completely disable the new Liquid Glass visual style.
  • Apple has not addressed the dizziness complaints publicly, though it has noted some users may experience minor performance or battery impacts after updating.
  • Search interest in downgrading has increased, and comparable transparency-reducing options are available across iOS, iPadOS and macOS.
