After reading the posts here what have your done to reduce the effects?
Liquid Glass - Love It Or Hate It - It's … - Apple Community
Don't forget this is a Support Site, not a Social Media site. Opinions have no effect on a Support site and Apple is not here to see your post, which is why the Feedback link has been provided. It makes no difference if I say I like the way Liquid Glass looks or if you say you don't. You will also be able to find posts here after iOS 18 was released where users did not like it and wanted to downgrade, and that was not possible then just as it is not possible now. That has been true for every iOS update.
how can you let Apple know this is the worst update in the existence of the iPhone?
I could not agree more Elena.👍
Apple will make changes (or not make changes) based partially on the feedback they receive through their official channel, linked below and good luck.

After every release of iOS there have been posts from people thinking it is worst upgrade ever. You have just joined the crowd.
Latest upgrade is a total train wreck. Do not care for any of the changed features on the phone. Been an apple supporter for 25 years , time to move on to something different.
In regard to your photos, can you please list the issues that are challenging you and we can help with restoring and explain your options.
Can my iPad act as my computer? This new version is disgusting. I am 87 years old. I don’t need all that craziness. PLEASE give me back my old version.
Ditto

Of course we all know that would double the size of every update as those resources would be needed for each UI version. Users already think the OS consumes too much storage so I am sure that would send them through the roof. Alternatively every update would have to have a 26.1(a) and 26.1(b) version which seems like a very complex and confusing solution, and a bug reporting nightmare if there was a bug in one version and not the other.
On a side note iOS 26.2 has been released today and there are additional options for toning down the Liquid Glass UI, with those options available on the Lock Screen with a long press.
Do you really think, a "less UI Formatting"-Option is consuming more space? sorry no
On a side note, iOS26.2 brings no real function to tune down the Glass border-appearance, only face transparency as before.

It can't be real that someone, even if it's the producer, comes to me, swaps my product (or what I liked about), and tells me "I have to like THIS one now, no discussion."
OS updates happen every year whether you have an iPhone or the new Android 16 that was just released that included the same transparency and blur effects with the only difference is that they call it Material Design 3, instead of Liquid Glass. You can go back several years on this Support Site and see posts after every single update where there are some that do not like it. None of that is unusual and you should expect another major release next year too. When that one shows up, then you will see posts wanting to go back to iOS 26 claiming that one is the one they want to use. It is very predictable and seen over and over again.
You can certainly send Feedback to Apple and let them know how you feel. Others do that too when they see something on another platform and also want to see it on the iPhone. Change is inevitable in technology especially when talking about smart phones no matter what platform you are using.

I am all fine for change. This is beyond just being less intuitive, more problems and, taking many more steps to do one action. It is also removed many passwords from my keychain and from apps. It is the most absurd yet so , frustrating.

Dear friend, We pay a lot of our hard-earned money for these devices and services, this is absolutely not about change. This is about integrity and responsibility to customers. The format is blurry and unusable. Progress and "change" for the sake of it is neither valuable nor innovative.
You own your device, but are simply a licensed user of the OS, which is exactly the same on every platform. UI changes occur frequently and have gone through many changes over the years including the Skeuomorphic and Flat designs seen previously. Currently the trend is the Transparency and Blur effects seen in Liquid Glass and the same is true for Android with their recent update to Android 16 where they call the same look Materials Design 3.
Welcome to the world of technology. The feedback link has also been provided if you want to let Apple know how you like it.

Personally I like it, but this is a Support Site not a Social Media site, so my opinions are not relevant.
Thank you so much.
