Or, it can be made very opaque, or somewhere in between.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find the slider inside the Wallpaper editing screen after tapping on the clock. It was available in prior versions of iOS 26, but didn\u2019t make nearly as big a difference as in 26.2.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a side-by-side of the most extreme options either direction.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ios-26-2-liquid-glass-clock-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1026675\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Unlike the Liquid Glass Settings toggle in 26.1, which gives only two options\u2014Clear and Tinted\u2014the Lock Screen offers a true slider.<\/p>\n<p>You can customize the clock\u2019s transparency more than ever for a more see-through or more solid look than before.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Apple still only lets you resize the clock when using the default font option. But perhaps a future iOS 26.2 beta will bring resizing functionality to the Lock Screen\u2019s other font options too.<\/p>\n<p>How do you plan to customize your Lock Screen\u2019s look in iOS 26.2?
