You\u2019ll find it in Settings \u21fe Appearance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are examples of the slider at work, showing what Liquid Glass looks like at its most transparent (left), default setting (middle), and most tinted (right).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"819\" data-id=\"1056720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5213.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056720\"  \/>Most transparent<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"819\" data-id=\"1056721\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5214.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056721\"  \/>Default<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"819\" data-id=\"1056719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5215.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056719\"  \/>Most tinted<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though I\u2019m highlighting only three points on the slider, Apple lets you more fully dial in your exact preferred level of transparency and tint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like any other systemwide slider, you can set iOS 27\u2019s slider to any point on the spectrum. These included images simply provide a good summary of three key options, with changes between each point harder to discern in a screenshot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are examples from the App Store in iOS 27:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1056723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5205.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056723\"  \/>Most transparent<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1056722\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5207.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056722\"  \/>Default<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1056724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5209.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056724\"  \/>Most tinted<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And from Apple Podcasts in iOS 27:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1056727\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5210.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056727\"  \/>Most transparent<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1056726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5211.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056726\"  \/>Default<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1056725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1781536514_874_IMG_5212.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056725\"  \/>Most tinted<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, here\u2019s what notifications look like on the iOS 27 Lock Screen at each setting:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1056733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5218.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056733\"  \/>Most transparent<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1056734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5219.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056734\"  \/>Default<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" data-id=\"1056732\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5220.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056732\"  \/>Most tinted<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s always possible Apple will refine the Liquid Glass slider even further in future iOS 27 betas.
