How to (Mostly) Get Rid of Liquid Glass

On the iPhone or iPad, the process is just a bit different. Open the system settings, go Accessibility Category, then Display and size of the text Category. From here you can tap Reduce transparency Do this toggle and all the glass bits of the user interface will be tightened.

I advise to change this setting and see how you like it. This is not a perfect solution, but it disables the most confusing part of the liquid glass: constant distorted transparency. I also tested this tweet on this old iPad that was feeling slow after the iPados 26 update and it is now quiet now.

A few more suggestions

Reducing transparency undo the worst part of the liquid glass, but you can move a little further. There are a few more tips here.

The Contrast Is in the same menu as alternatives Reduce transparencyThe It will put an outline around the very subtle edge and outline all over the operating system by tagling it. It shows the screen interface material perfectly, which some people cannot like, but if you use your devices, give it a shot if it is difficult to see the edges of things.

If you find that your old device is running slowly, even with transparency, I recommend to toggle it Speed Setting, which you can find Accessibility> speedThe Toggle this setting and various animations used by the operating system will be simplified. This should be a device that feels faster and more responsive.

Before and after: On the right, you can see the material on the iPhone screen is less transparent, the text is easy to read, and the background is free of visual chaos.

Finally, on your iPhone, safari, default web browser, the latest update has been concentrated. All your tabs are needed to do things like watching things like this now. You can go back to system settings the old tool Apply> Safari And scrolling the bottom Tab style Category. Tap Bottom Or TopDepending on your preferences and you will get back to the old tool.

As I said: None of this will return the old, pre -glass operating system to you. These tweets return the worst parts of the change, but give them a shot when you are upset.
