Can’t get the Liquid Glass effect on my iPhone 16 pro max???

Heyyy guys! I recently bought the iPhone 16 pro max and I have been trying to get that Liquid Glass effect that everyone is literally getting. I went to edit my wallpaper and I added some widgets and then went on to the different fonts for the clock time but I sadly couldn’t find it get that Liquid Glass one. Before I got this phone I did have an iPhone 12 so it is a big difference tech wise! I hope y’all can pls help me and if not pls tell me who else I could ask!!!

In that case you have it. Check the following


Settings, Accessibility, Display & Text size, reduce transparency OFF


Settings, Accessibility, Display & Text size , increase contrast OFF


Settings, Accessibility, Motion, Reduce motion OFF


Settings, Accessibility, Display & Text size , Display Borders OFF


Settings, Display & Brightness , Liquid glass, CLEAR

To remove it (although it won’t exactly be perfect, you can go Accessibility >> Display and text size >> Reduce transparency. There are downsides to it as if you try to close apps, swipe all the way left or right, you may not see your background, instead you would see a dark grey background for dark mode and white background for light mode.


Hope that helps!
