Apple’s latest iOS 26.1 beta has a new option that lets you tint Liquid Glass elements of iOS 26 so that they are more opaque. Since announcing Liquid Glass at WWDC this year, Apple hastweaked exactly how glassy Liquid Glass is — early on, there were some legibility issues — but this new setting gives you the choice of making things more transparent or more frosted.
The option is available now in the iOS 26.1 developer beta that Apple launched on Monday. You can access it from Settings > Display & Brightness > Liquid Glass, where you can choose between “Clear” and “Tinted.” The latest iPadOS 26.1 and macOS 26.1 developer betas also let you tint Liquid Glass, MacRumors reports.
Here’s a few image sliders showing how things look with the clear or tinted Liquid Glass. For each one, the screenshot on the left features the app with the “Clear” Liquid Glass option while the screenshot on the right uses the “Tinted” one. The differences are subtle, but I much prefer the Tinted versions.
The Liquid Glass toggle isn’t the only handy new option Apple added with the newest iOS 26.1 beta. The update also lets you turn off the ability to swipe to the camera from the lockscreen, which might prevent people who have your phone from taking pictures even if they can’t bypass your lockscreen. You can access the toggle from Settings > Camera > Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera.
