LOS ANGELES: With iOS and iPadOS 26, Apple has introduced transparent buttons as part of its new "Liquid Glass" design. However, some users have been finding the new look confusing, are struggling to identify the icons or just don't like the new effects.
While Liquid Glass can't be completely disabled, the transparency can at least be reduced. Apple has included a comprehensive set of accessibility tools in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS for users with visual impairments. These settings can be accessed via the Settings menu.
