It seems Apple was similarly of two minds on the update, having toyed around with the exact look of Liquid Glass throughout the iOS 26 beta testing period. The company seemed to be having trouble settling on a specific balance between the design's glassy effect, which can look really cool, and its overall readability. If buttons are too clear, for example, they'll let in more of the background elements, which can make it more difficult to see them. But by reducing the glass effect too much by adding a tint to the icon and menu backgrounds, Apple risks loses the charm of the design entirely. (Some critics have dubbed it "Frosted Glass" by comparison.)
To be clear, or not to be clear
This new setting first appeared in the fourth beta for iOS 26.1, as well as iPadOS 26.1 and macOS 26.1, which Apple released on Monday, Oct. 20. The toggle, which beta testers can find in Settings > Display and Brightness (iOS and iPadOS) or System Settings > Appearance on the Mac (macOS), gives users a simple choice in how Liquid Glass looks across their particular system: "Clear," which is more transparent, and is in-line with Liquid Glass' original intent; or "Tinted," which increases the opacity of menus and windows. You'll likely be able to read these elements better, but you won't see as much of the background shining through.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.iOS 26.1 is still in beta testing, so it isn't clear (no pun intended) whether this feature will in fact make it to the official update, and if it does, whether it'll still work the same way.
How to fix Liquid Glass right now
But even without this dedicated settings page, there is something you can do to "undo" Liquid Glass: By kicking on the "Reduce Transparency" feature in Accessibility settings, you can achieve a similar look to choosing the new "Tinted" option. My guess, however, is that "Tinted" will achieve a more visually pleasing look, as it is something Apple deliberately implemented to work with the design of Liquid Glass, while reduce Transparency is simply a blanket effect that turns down transparency effects across iOS, iPadOS, or macOS.
