"The design overhaul brings translucent, glass-like effects known as 'Liquid Glass' to app icons, the lock screen, and home screen. Many fans have rushed to install the update - first announced back in June - but it seems some are already regretting their decision. While Apple calls Liquid Glass 'beautiful', users claim the glassy finish has rendered their devices 'unreadable'."
"Taking to X, one user said: 'First time I hate the new iOS 26 so much. Everything is wobbly, flashy, distracting. Most things are unreadable.' Another added: 'iOS 26 is a visual disaster. #LiquidGlass turns Notification Center into a warped nightmare, the keyboard makes people nauseous, and Control Center in dark mode looks like snake rings.' And one vented: 'iOS 26 is an abomination. I miss the Steve Jobs era of Apple.'"
"'Liquid Glass [is] a new translucent material that reflects and refracts its surroundings, bringing greater focus to content, and delivering a new level of vitality across controls, navigation, app icons, widgets, and more,' Apple explained in a post on its newsroom. 'The new design extends to the Home Screen and Lock Screen, making them more personal and expressive than ever. 'Liquid Glass also brings new customisation options to app icons and widgets, including a stunning clear look.'"
