I've been looking everywhere in the Settings, and I can't find the option to reduce the visual ugly transparent treatment with counter-intuitive UX design options, that fixes all these horrible updates of ios26. Any ideas where else I can find these options?
No, accessibility transparency/contrast hacks are not solutions, TIA!
iPhone 13 mini, iOS 26

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I quite REALLY like the new Liquid Glass look. I know you don't want us to tell you to go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and turn on Reduce Transparency, but that really is the best option you've got. And as with ALL changes, every year with iOS, you'll likely adjust just fine to them.
One of the things I noticed after the update was that Settings> Accessibility>Display & Text Size>Reduce Transparency was turned on.
Everything looks much better now that I've turned it off.
If you do a search on YouTube, you will find a number of entries on how to do what you are looking for.
