Thank you for responding with your concerns, Alyzahd. 😉

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.

When you create a custom iPhone Lock Screen, you can → change the look of the clock. ⏰

A very useful user-tip by lobsterghost1 ▶︎ Liquid Glass - Love It Or Hate It - It's Here To Stay is recommended. 👍🏼

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 (to disable the Liquid Glass effect).

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

Ridding of Liquid Glass:

Upgrade the iOS:

Note that the feature to turn it off became available until a week or so after the initial release of iOS26. So, if you have never updated it since it was the release of iOS26, then, you’ll need to update it, in order to perform the steps provided above.

Updating an iPhone:

Other than through your iPhone you can update using a computer (and thereby Ethernet), or using Cellular, if an applicable phone.

Use my User Tips:

• Computer:  Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip
• Cellular: Use an iPhone 12 or later, that is using 5G, in order to update over Cellular - User Tip

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update
