How do I disable liquid glass The 'liquid glass' effect introduced in iOS 26 is distracting and an accessibility nightmare. I know that you can reduce the transparency in settings, but this also adds opaque boxes around things that were fine before iOS 26. I do not want this enabled on any of my apple devices, how do I disable it? (Note: I don't know why apple thinks I am talking about an iPhone 5s on iOS 12, I posted this on an M2 MacBook Air and use a 2nd generation iPhone SE.)

Did you try long pressing on a blank spot, then tapping Edit, top left?
