Liquid Glass IS NOT good for the Vision Impaired

The Liquid Glass update is literally making the iPhone absolutely cumbersome for the elderly and those with vision difficulties, is there any way to remove this terrible implementation or at the very least "opt out" of it so that those of us that suffer from vision impairments can enjoy the use of our iPhones again??

According to Apple:

After a software update is installed for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS, it cannot be downgraded to the previous version.


What you can do about this:

Open Settings ➢ Accessibility ➢ Display & Text Size, then toggle Reduce Transparency = on.


Also in Settings ➢ Accessibility ➢ Motion, then toggle Reduce Motion = on.


Also in Settings ➢ Display & Brightness ➢ Liquid Glass ➢ Tinted.



In addition, you can provide ⇢ Product Feedback.


If enough requests are made, your feedback might help with future development, like a toggle in the settings.


Good luck! 👋🏼😉
