Since announcing Liquid Glass at WWDC this year, Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/691540\/apple-ios-26-liquid-glass-control-center-fixed-beta\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/700066\/apple-liquid-glass-frosted-ios-26-developer-beta\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tweaked<\/a> exactly how glassy Liquid Glass is \u2014 early on, there were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/apple\/683914\/apple-iphone-ios-26-changes-liquid-glass\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">some legibility issues<\/a> \u2014 but this new setting gives you the choice of making things more transparent or more frosted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The option is available now in the iOS 26.1 developer beta that Apple launched on Monday. You can access it from Settings &gt; Display &amp; Brightness &gt; Liquid Glass, where you can choose between \u201cClear\u201d and \u201cTinted.\u201d The latest iPadOS 26.1 and macOS 26.1 developer betas also let you tint Liquid Glass, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/10\/20\/ios-26-1-liquid-glass-toggle\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MacRumors reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Here\u2019s a few image sliders showing how things look with the clear or tinted Liquid Glass. For each one, the screenshot on the left features the app with the \u201cClear\u201d Liquid Glass option while the screenshot on the right uses the \u201cTinted\u201d one. The differences are subtle, but I much prefer the Tinted versions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The Liquid Glass toggle isn\u2019t the only handy new option Apple added with the newest iOS 26.1 beta. The update also lets you turn off the ability to swipe to the camera from the lock screen, which might prevent people who have your phone from taking pictures even if they can\u2019t bypass your lock screen. You can access the toggle from Settings &gt; Camera &gt; Lock Screen Swipe to Open Camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple\u2019s latest iOS 26.1 beta has a new option that lets you tint Liquid Glass elements of iOS&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239451,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[517,4535,165,3,172,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-239450","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-ios","10":"tag-mobile","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-tech","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239450\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
