Icon and background appearance issues after iOS 26 update

After iOS 26 my icons screens look horrible.

1- The shiny stuff around the icons is just ugly.

2- The icons and the background are much brighter… or the contrast is ruined… I don’t really know, but something is just off and I get annoyed every time I open the phone.


I tried playing with the settings related with liquidity glass, but no help. Did anyone have the same issue? I am even considering switching back to android.
