\t\"Even<\/p>\n

iOS 26.4 beta 4 arrived today<\/a>, and with it a new \u2019Reduce Bright Effects\u2019 setting that lets you disable various flashing elements common in Liquid Glass.<\/p>\n

\u2018Reduce Bright Effects\u2019 is a new UI setting in iOS 26.4<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

iOS 26\u2019s Liquid Glass design has seen several refinements over time, but also new settings for dialing it back.<\/p>\n

Most prominently, iOS 26.1 added an option<\/a> in the Display & Brightness settings to switch from the default \u2018Clear\u2019 design to a more iOS 18-like \u2018Tinted\u2019 look.<\/p>\n

That one setting alone goes a long way toward making the new design feel more like the previous iPhone look.<\/p>\n

But in iOS 26.4, there\u2019s another new setting that lets you disable a different aspect of Liquid Glass. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s called \u2018Reduce Bright Effects,\u2019 and it controls the bright flashing response that shows up when interacting with certain UI elements.<\/p>\n

You can see a comparison in the X post below<\/a> via 9to5Mac\u2019s own Dylan McDonald.<\/p>\n

If you want to enable the \u2018Reduce Bright Effects\u2019 toggle, it\u2019s available inside Settings \u21fe Accessibility \u21fe Display & Text Size.<\/p>\n

Combine this with the previously available setting for a more tinted Liquid Glass look, and the iPhone experience gets even closer to its pre-iOS 26 design.<\/p>\n

How do you feel about the flashing effects in Liquid Glass? Will you enable this new iOS 26.4 setting, or not? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
