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

iOS 26.1 is expected to launch soon, and when it does, it will provide users with four new settings to customize the way their iPhone looks and works. Here\u2019s what\u2019s new.<\/p>\n

Liquid Glass design<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apple shipped a bold new Liquid Glass design<\/a> in iOS 26. But as might be expected considering the iPhone\u2019s massive user base, the update hasn\u2019t been everyone\u2019s favorite.<\/p>\n

Rather than tweaking Liquid Glass for everyone, iOS 26.1 instead introduces a new Settings toggle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Available under Display & Brightness \u21fe Liquid Glass, the new setting offers two Liquid Glass options:<\/p>\n

\u2018Clear\u2019 retains the same style of Liquid Glass that was available previously. If you don\u2019t like the clear look, however, or perhaps find readability a challenge, the new \u2018Tinted\u2019 option will increase opacity and add more contrast systemwide.<\/p>\n

Camera swipe on Lock Screen<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not too long ago, the iPhone offered far fewer methods for launching the Camera app.<\/p>\n

The main method for a lot of users was (and for many still is) swiping left on the Lock Screen.<\/p>\n

However, in 2017 the iPhone X introduced a dedicated on-screen Camera button; in 2023, the Action button became a Camera launcher for many; and in 2024, Camera Control debuted.<\/p>\n

Despite this abundance of new options for launching Camera, the previous swipe gesture was still always available\u2014and couldn\u2019t be disabled.<\/p>\n

Now in iOS 26.1, Apple has finally changed that<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you like the Lock Screen Camera swipe, it\u2019s still an option in iOS 26.1. But if you never use it except by accident, there\u2019s now a toggle to turn it off.<\/p>\n

Inside Settings \u21fe Camera you\u2019ll find a new \u2018Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera\u2019 option. It\u2019s on by default, but you can now choose to disable it.<\/p>\n

Less swipes, more taps<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

iOS 26.1 reintroduces the classic \u2018Slide to unlock\u2019 iPhone gesture, but redeploys it for alarms and timers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In iOS 26, the Lock Screen design for alarms and timers underwent a big change\u2014the buttons to stop or snooze got huge.<\/p>\n

For some users, this redesign made it too easy to accidentally dismiss an alarm or timer. So in iOS 26.1, the standard \u2018Stop\u2019 button has been replaced by a \u2018Slide to stop\u2019 gesture.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t like the change, however, you can go to Settings \u21fe Accessibility \u21fe Touch to find a way to reverse it.<\/p>\n

The new setting is called \u2018Prefer Single-Touch Actions.\u2019 Simply put, it makes sure that interface elements requiring a sliding action (like the new alarm and timer screens) use single-tap buttons instead.<\/p>\n

Local Capture settings<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

iOS and iPadOS 26 introduced a new Local Capture feature for on-device video and audio recording.<\/p>\n

Local Capture makes it easier than ever to do things like create podcasts directly from an iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n

By default, recordings are saved to the Downloads folder in the Files app. But in iOS 26.1, there are two new related settings<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Save Location, which lets you set a different save destination<\/p>\n

Audio Only, which ensures Local Capture only saves audio, not video<\/p>\n

These can both be found in the new menu inside Settings \u21fe General \u21fe Local Capture.<\/p>\n

Which new Settings additions in iOS 26.1 are you most excited for? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
