Troubleshooting Opaque Screen:

What is your iOS version? Go to: Settings > General > About


This "opaque" is officially called "Liquid Glass". and is something that was widely complained about by Apple's customers when the upgraded to iOS13. So, upgrade to iOS26.3, if not done so, already:


For your model(iPhone 13), you have three options to upgrade:

  1. Through the iOS
  2. Through a Computer
  3. Trough Cellular


See my User Tips:

2. Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Ttip

3. Use an iPhone 12 or later, that is using 5G, in order to update over Cellular - User Tip
