14 Sep
Summary
- New iOS update enhances Liquid Glass readability with a slider.
- Tinted Mode reduced opacity and increased contrast for Liquid Glass.
- Users previously complained about Liquid Glass readability issues.

Apple has released significant updates to its Liquid Glass interface, aiming to improve user satisfaction with its visual appearance and readability. Early versions of the Liquid Glass effect faced criticism from users who found its glossy nature detracted from screen legibility.
In response to these concerns, Apple introduced Tinted Mode in iOS 26.1. This feature offered a solution by decreasing the opacity of the Liquid Glass effect and simultaneously enhancing its contrast levels, providing a more readable experience.
However, user feedback indicated that further customization was desired. Recognizing this, Apple's iOS 27 update now includes a much-anticipated slider. This new control allows users to fine-tune the Liquid Glass effect, offering greater personalization and significantly improving its overall readability and user control.
