How to disable liquid glass in iOS 26?
Is there a way to completely disable the liquid glass functionality on iOS 26? I'm not going to get into a lengthy diatribe over why it's awful, I just want it gone.
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18

You can go to Settings>Accessibility>Display & Text Size and turn on Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast and that will do some, but you cannot "turn off" Liquid Glass.
You can ask all you want but it won't happen. Downgrading the operating system is not supported.
And there is no such version as 24 or 25. It made the jump from iOS 18 to 26.
This has nothing to do with the operating system.
WRONG
“NO”, I really hate that future it’s so annoying but unfortunately there’s no options to disable it.

Disabling the future would be unwise.
iOS 26 can’t go back. Reducing transparency helped alot for the Home Screen.

if you turn on your reduce transparency and increase contrast settings it pretty much eliminates the Liquid Glass look
Reduce transparency in settings !
Press on your home screen until you see the edit button at the top left. Tap Edit, then move the Widget and voila, srsly, you will have fixed your nightmare.
You can turn on “Show Borders” (also in accessibility > display & text size) and it’s still not great but it does get rid of the worst part of the “glass” effect

That doesn't even make sense. But it doesn't matter what I think. Tell Apple:
