How to disable Liquid Glass effect in iOS 26.1?

I upgraded to iOS 26.1 and it looks terrible. I hate this "liquid glass" thing, it completely ruined my iPhone experience. Can I turn it off somehow?

you are not speaking to apple here


these forums are user helping other users like yourself, it's sort of going

to a physical apple store and asking other customers their advice

 

This is a user helping users with tech questions forum, we are not apple

and apple do not read your posts here


you can complain to their feedback channels

You can’t turn it off, however;


Open Settings ➢ Accessibility ➢ Display & Text Size, then toggle Reduce Transparency = on.


Also in Settings ➢ Accessibility ➢ Motion, then toggle Reduce Motion = on.


Also in Settings ➢ Display & Brightness ➢ Liquid Glass ➢ Tinted.



In addition, you can provide ⇢ Product Feedback.


If enough requests are made, your feedback might help with future development, like a toggle in the settings.


Good luck! 👋🏼😉
