The tricky thing about the iPad update is it’s different on different machine models. Really irritating. I just got a new A16 and it has a caps lock key (why? I don’t know). My older 9th gen iPad has kept the old keyboard style. Goodbye muscle memory

Not relevant to the subject, and this is the iphone forum. Ask your question as a new question in the ipad forum.

The transparency also makes it difficult at times to focus on the actual content of the notification as it blends in with the background.

Something 'cool' does not always translate into a better customer experience. This is a prime example of how something 'cool' can make it worse.

If a customer cannot easily make out the notifications, what point is there to have a device where one of the primary functions is for notifications?

Apple has prided itself on providing superior customer experience with a superior interface. This is an example of how the company has lost its focus on the customer.

Now you just need an update to customise the colour of the notification bubbles like you have for the clock the notifications should have that option too.

That was really helpful! Thank you !

I also found it better visually to turn off the Show Borders option.

Oh, and 16 is not my age, but my phone ha ha!

Settings: Liquid Glass -> tinted (not clear)

I don’t like it at all. I have held off on changing phones because i have a lot invested in apple store/ apps/ music etc but this may be the last straw. Might be time to move to another brand

Does anyone know how to get it to allow me to change to tinted from clear. My iphone 15 pro will not allow me to. I have ios 26.1

Thanks

I can tell ZERO difference when I do this. any other suggestions?

Because I could not edit my previous comment: I can tell zero difference except for when unlocking the phone/screen. Any other suggestions?

"How to change the Liquid Glass style from the Lock Screen Notifications (and Control Centre) to the old style ???: I HATE the iOS26 liquid glass look for the notifications on the lock screen and Control Centre. How do I get it back to how it was in the previous iOS?[...]"

Recommend this Change to Apple:

Do your Part: Report this to Apple. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback Apple receives on this, the more they will know what is their customers prefer, and what and what features to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of your thoughts, if you don't provide them with them.

1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
2. Select: "Other" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: that you want this to be an option and why. Include the URL to this thread.
4. Proceed from there as necessary

As many people will probably be sending feedback asking for a feature to disable Liquid Glass effects, maybe such an option will be added…the more people sending feedback, the more likely the feature will be incorporated.

Correct.

So, to all those affect, including the OP, report it.
