How do you get rid of Liquid Glass? How can I get my photo gallery and messages easily accessible. I believe in going forward if it means improvement. For me, this has made the iPhone more complicated. I don’t want to swipe to turn off alarm. You can barely see notifications through the Liquid Glass and my battery dies quicker.

Have you updated to iOS 26.2? If so you will see additional settings on your Lock Screen with a slider to adjust the Liquid Glass effects and the option to choose Solid colors. You also have a choice of colors to use that may help you see your Notifications better and change your Wallpaper.


If you don't want the swipe to turn off the alarm, then change it back. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, and turn on Prefer Single Touch.


Not sure what issues you are referring to with the accessibility of the Photo Gallery and Messages. It may be best to post a new topic with any issues you are having and device details, as posting in a thread on how to undo 26.1 has been answered and we all know there is no Undo option. Now with iOS 26.2, this thread is not even relevant and you will likely see few people even looking at a thread for discussions about 26.1 at this point.
