iOS 26 has launched a new era of design; not just from Apple. Even though their “Liquid Glass” design choices look awesome and have been adopted by many designers, they’ve still received mixed reviews from consumers. With iOS 26.1 Beta 4’s release, Apple hopes to add some customizability as to the intensity of Liquid Glass.

The Settings App in iOS now allows you to choose whether you want Liquid Glass to appear clear or tinted. Users who value contrast more might find themselves using tinted, while users of clear probably find themselves nostalgic for the Aqua macOS design and Windows Vista (and honestly, I can’t blame them). While this isn’t a controllable slider like many users wanted, this is still a welcome and a really helpful change to iOS.

When is iOS 26.1 Coming?

We can expect that iOS 26.1 will be released in the beginning of November, with an RC likely releasing next Monday. We don’t know for sure, however, and things can always change. Until then, stay tuned!
