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's no off switch but however what I did is I went to settings-accessability-display & text size and reduced transparency and if that still isn't okay for you I would recommend scrolling down (same settings) and reducing white points atleast by 50% or however you like. It makes the icons less "shiny" in a way
Liquid glass is a horrible and sight damaging feature. There must be a way to disable it.
Disable Liquid Glass?
Sorry, but this question was asked and answered many times in this thread.
I'm afraid that asking the same question again is not going to result in a different answer.

Sadly, wanting something to exist doesn't mean it is required that it exist.
I did all this too. It makes it just about usable but that’s not good enough from Apple.
Please add separate toggle for icon shimmer/parallax effects to save battery without full Reduce Motion. +1
I have done all of the above … and it’s still awful 😭
