How to (often) get rid of liquid glass

On iPhone or iPad, the process is slightly different. Open system settings, move to accessibility The section, then Display and size of the text to divide. From here you can click on Reducing transparency Switch. Do this and all the different glass parts of the user interface will become solid.

I recommend changing this setting and seeing how you like it. It is not an ideal solution, but it disrupts the most distracted part of liquid glass: continuous distorted transparency. I also tested this disk on the old iPad that was slowly after the IPADOS 26 update, which is not polite now.

Some other suggestions

It really reduces transparency the worst part of liquid glass, but you can go forward. Here are some tips.

the Increase contrast The option in the same list is like Reducing transparency. It will be replaced in a detailed scheme on all edges and outlines that can be said throughout the operating system. It makes the interface elements on the screen look explicitly late, which some people may not like, but give it a snapshot if you find it difficult to see the edges of things while using your devices.

If you find that your older device is working slowly, even with a decrease in transparency, I also recommend a replacement Reducing movement Setting, which you can find Access> Movement. This various animation and animation settings will be simplified by the operating system. This should lead to a device that feels faster and more responsive.

You can return the old toolbar in system settings by heading to Applications> safari And scroll down to Tab to divide. handle bottom or summitDepending on your preferences, you will find the old toolbar.

As I said: None of this old operating system will return you before the glass you prefer. These modifications are back from the worst parts of the changes, so give them a chance if you are upset.
