Whilst some of the features are a welcomed change, many are a bit questionable. And look, I hate change just as much as anyone else does. So, here\u2019s a rundown of the new features that you can quickly revert back from, without too much hassle. Simple!<\/p>\n

How to turn off Liquid Glass<\/p>\n
One of the most hated on new features is Liquid Glass. It basically changes the design of every part of your phone\u2019s screen. It gives the screen a translucent look, which makes your apps 3D as they \u201creflect and refract\u201d.<\/p>\n
To turn off Liquid Glass<\/a>, go to settings. Then, scroll down to \u201cAccessibility\u201d and click \u201cDisplay and Text\u201d. Finally, hit \u201cReduce Transparency.\u201d<\/p>\n How to turn off large screenshot previews<\/p>\n Remember the good old days when you would take a screenshot of something and a small window of it would appear that you could swipe off and then move on in life? With the update, that\u2019s a thing of the past. You\u2019re now faced with huge screenshot previews. This one is very easy to revert back to.<\/p>\n In settings, just go to: General\u00a0>\u00a0Screen Capture, and disable the toggle next to \u201cFull-Screen Previews\u201d. You can flip the toggle back, if you suddenly feel in the mood to embrace change.<\/p>\n Messages have had some changes too via Apple<\/p>\n Not many people use iMessage as much, but if you do, group chats and messages have changed. You can now change the background of these messages, but if someone in the chat does, it changes for everyone.<\/p>\n Want your own freedom in how your messages look? Go to settings, Apps\u00a0>\u00a0Messages, then find the \u201cConversation Backgrounds\u201d\u00a0toggle and disable it.<\/p>\n Spatial settings might be making you feel uneasy<\/p>\n A few people have had complaints about iOS 26<\/a>, with some saying the update makes them feel \u201cuneasy\u201d and saying they\u2019re \u201cdistracting\u201d. One of those things might be the new spatial settings, which make it look as though things move on your screen a lot. It can give images on your phone a 3D look.<\/p>\n You can fix this though! All you need to do it press your lock screen, then tap customise. You should then see a little hexagonal icon appear. Tap it to disable the effect. The same hexagonal icon will appear under images in your photos \u2013 tap it wherever you see it to disable the function.<\/p>\n Dark mode has made apps look different<\/p>\n Dark mode has also had a switch up in the new update. App icons now have a soft glow in one corner that makes them look slightly tilted, and people are saying they want the old ones back. To fix this, it does look as though you need to switch dark mode app, or turn off Liquid Glass as explained above.<\/p>\n Call screening is revolutionary, but here\u2019s how to turn if off if you don\u2019t want it via Apple<\/p>\n People are loving the new call screening feature, which is a quick-fire way of making sure you never answer a spam call again. Call screening automatically answers calls from unknown numbers without interrupting you. Once the caller shares their name and reason for their call, your iPhone rings and shares their response so you can decide if you want to pick up.<\/p>\n But, if for some reason you aren\u2019t too keen on it, you can switch this off too. Head to your settings app and go to Apps\u00a0>\u00a0Phone. Then find the new \u201cScreen Unknown Callers\u201d section and tap \u201cNever\u201d.<\/p>\n Can you uninstall iOS 28 once you have it?<\/p>\n
