How to restore classic phone look in iOS 26.1 on iPhone?

Liquid Glass is the UI in iOS 26, it is not a screen on a device. Since you replied to a post about iOS 26.1, it is not clear if that is the OS you are using. Make sure you have updated to iOS 26.2 so you have all the options available to you to reduce the Liquid Glass effects. Pay particular attention to the recommendations here to use a darker wallpaper as seen in the examples.

Define "classic look"?

You can go to Settings ➜ Accessibility ➜ Display & Text Size ➜ Reduce Transparency, if you want to get rid of the glassy effects.

Otherwise, explain what exactly you want to get back.

If there is one available, you will find it at Settings > General > Software Update.

If you need additional help, I would recommend creating a new post with your device details including your current OS version, instead of replying to a post about iOS 26.1 on an iPhone.

the apps on my screen look blurry after the newest update. I have an older iPhone without the Liquid Glass screen. Can I change back to the look of the old apps?
