How to disable Liquid Glass on iPhone?

How do I disable this horrible Liquid Glass? Apple’s designers need to go back to school. This is a HORRIBLE UPDATE. Everything is the wrong color and size. Things are in the worst location possible.

Been solid with all Apple updates since 2007 but today my phone updated against my will and it’s sad for me to admit that this is the first time I’d love nothing more than to revert to the previous version. I hate the folders looking squishy when at rest, the dumb sheen around everything, icons look blurred and unfocused. Most useless update that does nothing to add to the experience other than strain your eyes. You lost me on this one Apple.

No one on these forums lost you. These are just user-to-user forums. So, provide your feedback to Apple. Use good vocab, or it will be filtered out.

It took me a couple of days to get used to it but now I really like it. No eye strain.
