How to remove white borders around icons on iPhone 15 after update?

ok, you like it. But some do not, and it’s ok to complain about this. People give a lot of money for something they expect, or are familiar with. All your advice in honor, no one can „really“ tune down the aggressive oversharpen look. Especially the look of the icons. Why not the possibility to change to flat ui Theme besides the new themes? Almost any device on market allows to change the ui theme. It’s very sad.

This isn't a social media forum, where you just come and complain. This is a technical support forum where you ask for help. You can't remove liquid glass, plain and simple. You can make adjustments as outlined in the link I provided. If you want to complain, tell Apple, not your fellow users, none of whom designed Liquid Glass and none of whom can do anything about Liquid Glass. You can complain to Apple here, where someone at Apple will read it as opposed to no one from Apple reading it here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Look before you leap. Android has adopted some very similar aspects to Liquid Glass and it's called Material 3. You're really not going to stop technology from moving forward. Not with Apple. Not with Google. Not with Android (which is a Google OS).

Telling only other users on a user to user only forum you're going to take your marbles and go somewhere else is meaningless. We don't honestly care what you choose to spend your money on. If you think you can truly escape the newer skeuomorphic design language, think again.

This is an issue. The border around the dock and icons absolutely trashes a theme i spent over 1000 hours on creating and making everything look seemless and the borders ruins it. Just cause it isn't an issue with you doesn’t mean it isn’t an issue

Sorry to disagree. It is bad. For visual people, it is horrible. On the positive side, I will probably use my phone less.

It's bad for you. You are the only person you can speak for. It's unwise to assume that your preferences are somehow superior or shared by most people or represent an objective truth.

I am a "visual person." I like Liquid Glass. And that preference is relevant to exactly one person.

"Reduce Transparency" doesn't remove the white outline around app icons.

“‘Reduce Transparency’ doesn't remove the white outline around app icons.”

Thank for spreading the word!

I did this, it disappeared for a second the came back

Please share a screenshot that shows the white borders.

This is a pretty bad way to fix the issue.

This update is so awful, really regret upgrading to 26.1

everything looks terrible with the borders

it absolutely is bad, a simple reddit search will tell you it’s very unpopular among many people. Ruined the aesthetic of mine and many others’s home screens.

Reddit readers are never happy, that's the whole point of that platform .

Does not work for me on iPhone 16 Pro.

Any news on this? Every update has at least one thing that makes my life a little worse. I tried all the suggestions here, and submitted feedback. I had a lovely home screen 20 mins ago. Now this 🙁
